Admit it. You've put your tongue on a 9 volt battery at least once in your life. It gives your tongue a nice little zing, doesn't it?

But are you up to the challenge?
Luckily you don't have to be, as you weren't invited to the first annual 9 Volt Challenge.
The competitors: Devin (that would be me) and Chris, two sexy CSM students.

The reason? The horrors of CSM drove us to massive alcohol consumption, and we found a 9 volt battery (I think it was from the smoke detector, but what have they ever done for anyone?).

Back to the story...well, it pretty much boils down to "Hey I bet I can keep this on my tongue longer than you can."

If I remember correctly, the first goal was a whopping 5 seconds. Then 10. Then...OMG 20 seconds! Can you believe that? We couldn't. The next logical step was obvious: more beer.

So after these first few trials, our tongues looked something like this:


Child's play. Let's keep going.

So...it just keeps going. A full minute. Two minutes. Chris taps out at 3 minutes. Myself? Shyeah right, I'm going for it.

After 5 full minutes and a waterfall of drool, I decided it was a good time to call it quits. My tongue agreed.



And that's pretty much it. I won (or did I?). Chris receives an honorable mention.
CSM still drives us mad. Life goes on. Chicks dig scars, right?
We can't really recommend doing this at home.
