Sometimes science does odd stuff that maybe leads to more useful stuff, like the Hogben Test

Don't get me wrong, I'm not disappointed they did this experiment. I'm disappointed they didn't find a good way to get out of it. After reading this I still can't tell if you could have your friend lick your tongue to get you unstuck, or your tongues would stick together instead.
