Because metals are usually good conductors of heat. When you touch metal at
a spot that's cooler than your skin, the bit of heat that flows from your finger
to the metal at that spot quickly flows onward to cooler parts of the metal ...
leaving that spot still cool, and still taking heat out of your finger.
If you waited around until the entire piece of metal warmed to the temperature
of your skin, then the metal wouldn't feel cool any longer.

Why do things stick when its freezing cold?
Your body is mostly made of water. When you touch a very cold object, for example ice or metal, it freezes the water in your fingers and the object together. This can only happen with anything with a little bit of moisture on it: ice does not stick to dry objects, as there is no water there to freeze. -- Cucarach1 its not :/

Why does a metal floor feels colder than a wooden floor on a cold morning?
Metal conducts heat very well; the heat of your feet will be carried away quickly on a metal floor, causing you to feel cold - because of the loss of heat. Wood conducts heat very POORLY; it's an excellent insulator. That's why we use wooden "trivets" to protect delicate tabletops from hot cooking vessels.

What is the energy that flows from a warmer body to a colder body?
No, thermal energy always transfers from a relatively hot object to a relatively cold object. This is because, when heated, atoms have more kinetic energy, and they pass this down to the "colder" particles, which have a lesser degree of kinetic energy.
