From a Mahto (Teton Sioux) document discovered in 1865 ... "Ravens fall from trees". Meaning the birds froze solid and fell from their perches. Not a 'Tall Tale' either!

Those Ravens must be grateful for 'global warming'!

And another story cold but true - when I was in about Grade 2 a big boy in Grade 8 dared a bunch of us little ones to touch the school's steel door handle with our tongues at recess. Never one to back down from a dare back then, I did ... and my tongue froze solid to the door handle in seconds. He took off howling with laughter, and they had to call the teachers out to pour warm water over my stuck tongue - MAN that hurt!!!

Learned me good too!
