Here is a news story of how love + inexperience led to frostbite = amputations. It seems the poor guy just didn't know it could get that cold, because he had never experienced anything below 50°(F) in his life. At least he survived.

Stay safe,
J.T.

Does anybody else find it slightly unfair that the would-be Lothario is identified (and thus held up to public ridicule) while his erstwhile internet siren remains anonymous?

Love is a many splendoured thing.... <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I can't believe that he robbed a Pizza Hut! Can you imagine?
"Gimme all your breadsticks!!! That's right---nice and slow...."
He doesn't sound like a real mental giant.

She didn't do anything dumb or newsworthy.

He was trying, but he didn't make it.

A little longer exposure, and another appendage might have frozen solid and had to be cut off. <img src="/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
