    “How Many Licks Does It Take
    To Get To The Center Of A Tootsie Pop?”
    Well..
    A group of engineering students from Purdue University reported that its licking machine, modeled after a human tongue, took an average of 364 licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop. Twenty of the group's volunteers assumed the licking challenge-unassisted by machinery-and averaged 252 licks each to the center.

    I wonder if the licking machine produces saliva like a real tongue would, that would account for the fewer licks in the human trial.

    I think that the student test subjects had more experience than the 'licking machine'.

    Somewhere in the Brazilian Amazon, this moth is literally drinking the tears out of a bird's eye in the dead of night.
    Actually, drinking the tears of your neighbors is common enough in biology that it has a name: lachryphagy.
    Tear-drinking is a relatively common way for insects like butterflies, moths and bees to supplement their diets.
