Hey, Blog Guy, I just took an IQ test and it made me wonder. Are tests for measuring intelligence pretty much the same around the world?
An intelligent question, and no, they’re not. This photo shows one that is commonly used overseas. It divides people into two groups - those who are willing to stick their tongue in a fan, and those who are not.
Wow. And what happens to the people who are willing to do that?
They no longer need to budget money for ice cream cones.

He stopped a fan with his tongue? Amateur …
- Posted by John C AbellDuring his interview afterwards, Marco Boehm was speechless.
- Posted by Lady WeaselWhen Sean told his girlfriend he was willing to do ANYTHING to keep her from leaving, he had no idea what a sadist she was…
- Posted by KAfter eating his very first habanero pepper, Marco Boehm needed a way to cool his burning tongue.
- Posted by Lady WeaselIf he had discovered that he could stop a fan using his tongue a bit earlier, he probably would not now be known as ‘old eunuch Baum.”
- Posted by Shawn HendricksThe trick, folks, is knowing to put the touniquet around the tongue, not the neck.
- Posted by Shawn HendricksTragically, Arty Bohem tried to stop the same fan with his bolo tie. Ceremonies will be held at Forest Lawn on Saturday.
- Posted by Shawn HendricksI wish I had prehensile toes capable of pulling electrical plugs.
- Posted by Shawn Hendricks“Wetten dass”? Yeah, I’d bet: I’d bet that he won’t do that again.
- Posted by CharleneRidiculous! Everybody knows that it is an absurd thing to do in summer. Nobody wants to have electric fans stopped!
