OMG They Found the Cure for Stupid

4, I made a response to you touching your nose with your tongue. Then I went and wrote this really long post explaining why I deleted the post and then got an error when I hit send. I got frustrated and thought I would try again in the morning. So here goes....

I thought touching your tongue to your nose had to be something that most people couldn't do. I know I can't. So I asked if you did tongue touching exercises. Then I read what I wrote and thought it didn't sound very good - came out sounding crude which wasn't my intention. So now I'll try to re-phase. It got me wondering if you were always able to do that, or is it something you worked at doing? Kinda like yoga for the tongue? You start out not being able to do something, and eventually if you work the part you eventually can? So last night I did some research. It sounds like it's a genetic thing. In fact, I found many things that most people can't do.

Raise one eyebrow - now this is something I can do.

Lick your elbow - can't do that.

Twitch your nose - can't do that.

Wiggle your ear - can't do that, but my kids can.

Sneeze with your eyes open - not sure about this one but I'll be keeping an eye open for this one, get it? - eye open? NEVER MIND.

Tickle yourself - can't do this either.

Yes, I have too much time on my hands. Can't wait to be done with treatment, so I can get on with my life. hahahahaha

I know you'll all be trying this stuff - just admit it.

Going out to brekkie now - hope you're all having a great morning.

i can lift one eyebrow. My husband can move his scalp.  

Aly.........LOL..........I can roll my tongue too...........also spread my toes which so many cannot do.......LOL

Maybe we could be a circus team

We can be like a traveling Gypsy Circus to make money to pay for the trip!!!

did I hear gypsy????

Love gypsies

I can read the cards so we can make some $$$$$$$$

I also can do dirty dancin

Ok enuf said..my trip should be almost paid now

Ok, I can raise one eyebrow, spread my toes AND wiggle my ears. I used to pass the time away in church trying to wiggle my ears because my dad could. He would also loan me his watch and I would practice holding my breath. Interested in the sermon? Not.

In my high school biology class I learned that you either have the gene to be able to roll your tongue or you don't.  I apparently don't have that gene.  So, don't feel too bad if you can't do it no matter how hard you try.  It's all in the genes!

Chabba............I can't even write with my left hand let alone my foot.............I am right handed......had several surgeries on that wrist hand and arm.............."write with your left hand they said".............they had to be friggin kiddin.....................no way........could not do it..........can't eat with my left hand either.............they say your opposite hand is your "helper hand" for the other hand.........trust me......that is all mine was good for.........LOL

But I an roll my tongue..........and whistle through my lips...........Chew gum and walk......LOL

chabba, write with your left foot?? Now that IS talent.

I can click my gum when I chew!

I always heard if you try to sneeze with your eyes open, your eyes will pop out of your head......

4, You've rendered me speechless, which doesn't happen too often. I just don't know what to say about that tongue of yours.

mary, My mother used to say that too. I guess the question is - if you can't keep your eyes open while sneezing, how would you know if there's any truth to your eyes popping out? Has anyone here every been able to do it? I tried keeping my eyes open while sneezing, and I can't do it.

does anyone else keep getting that annoying 

"we're sorry but something went wrong" screen??

I keep getting it but then a minute later my post is there anyhow???  Weird.  Must have something to do with the work they did.  Sometimes it is just happening when I try to go to a thread???
