MSNBC has picked up on the story of the Boise boy who stuck his tongue on a frozen pole "just to try it"... and now he's making news all over the country!

Ysabel Bilbao met up with 10-year-old Sam Nicholson after he was rescued by Boise firefighters. He was stuck for several minutes before the firefighters used a glass of water to free him from the pole. Fortunately, his tongue is A-OKAY. No damage to report!

In case you missed it, you can watch Ysabel's story here:  

 Amazingly, the same thing happened to a girl in Spokane yesterday!  

There are lessons to be learned from this....

Just like in the movie "A Christmas Story" - NEVER put your tongue on a frozen pole, even if you REALLY want to "try it"...

OUCH!
