(AFD) — Scientists in Barrow, Alaska have discovered a previously unknown quality to Viagra — it works better frozen.
At least, some people see it that way.
A new study in next month's Northwest Science Journal of Medicine reports that while the cold can have unfortunate side effects to the genitals of both sexes, it can lead to help for the body's most flexible organ — the tongue.
During the six-months of winter's darkness in Barrow, which sits above the Arctic Circle, temperatures stay down below -50°F. Not much usually moves at those temperatures. But Dr. Felix Omigodeys found one exception.
He told colleagues that he discovered something unique when he put his supply of Viagra in the freezer locker to warm up (really).
A research assistant, L. Ickinschlit said what happened next went beyond anything he's seen in the normally staid scientific community.
"Dr. Omigodeys ran up to me and at first I thought he was making, well, silly faces," Ickinschlit said. As he came closer and closer I saw that he had his tongue stuck out at me.… He was excitedly moving his hands out and moving his head down, over and over."
Not understanding his boss' actions, they went back inside and Omigodeys started fingering the Apple keyboard.
"I can still see the words flashing there, it said: Think Tongue Erection. Don't laugh. I didn't."
Omigodeys described what he had done — swallowed the blue pills while they were frozen.
"He explained how that might have changed the chemical make-up, but I couldn't believe it," Ickinschlit said. "But hours later his tongue was still very much out."
Though it was clearly flexible, it was hard as well. And it stayed that way for hours.
Another man who witnessed Omigodeys thought he was playing some kind of weird practical joke. "Except he wasn't a prankster, he stayed in his room a lot," the man said. "He complained about hand pain, but otherwise he usually let everyone take care of their own business."
Omigodeys was worried, colleagues say, until it started to die down.
"It was a breakthrough, though unintended," Ickinschlit said. "We felt like we were in virgin territory, though, of course, it had been done before by men in different positions many many times.
"He had the softest touch on those keys, it was almost a caress, very gentle."
It could not be discovered why Dr. Omigodeys had a Viagra supply in an area populated only by polar bears and oil derrick workers.
