    Purdue University

    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.

    University of Michigan

    Not to be outdone by a Big Ten rival, a chemical engineering doctorate student from the University of Michigan recorded that his customized licking machine required 411 licks to reach the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop. (411-364. Go Blue!)

    Swarthmore Junior High School

    Rejecting the notion that one needed active college status to undertake the Tootsie Pop licking challenge, a group of junior high students at Swarthmore School used human lickers, reporting an average of 144 licks to reach the center of a Tootsie Pop.

    Based on the wide range of results from these scientific studies, it is clear that the world may never know how many licks it really takes to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop.

    It's all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it's fitness or whatever. It's about getting up, motivating yourself and just doing it.

    Are we talkin' professional or amateur lickers? And is SS a professional licker? If so, has he obtained the proper permit to lick and is said permit prominently displayed for the health inspector?

    Question is too vague and poll does not have enough options.

    It's okay. I rarely vote. As a matter of fact, I can only recall voting in two polls over the past few years. One was Occam's Not enough options Poll and the other was a Walking Dead Poll. I only remember the WD poll because The Texan recently thanked me for my vote.

    Mr Owl was a cheater and his count should be disqualified. Also, his three licks were lame. He has a nasty little bird tongue (bird tongues gross me out) and I bet I could do more in one lick than he did in three.

    I'd have to redo the poll. Eugene for obvious reasons is its Democrat.
    I was pegging NEGAN as being more GOP. I think your option is the
    third party one. You, me and TheTexan voted. If you want to sway the
    good folks here to one side or the other in the current poll, be my guest!

    Sure. Or register Republican and use electronic voting. As long as you vote for a Republican approved option, your vote will count for as many needed to "deliver the election to " the Republican option. Something about the CEO of Diebold and Bush in Ohio.

    We may have to bring in some licking experts to get to the bottom of this thing. Know any?

    Some of our resident bootlickers may know how many licks it takes to get to the foot.

    Those skills may or may not be transferable to tootsie pops.
