You have to try this please, it takes 2 seconds. I could not believe this!!! It is from an orthopaedic surgeon.............

This will boggle your mind and it will keep you trying over and over again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but, you can't.
It's pre-programmed in your brain!

1. Without anyone watching you (they will think you are GOOFY.....) and while sitting at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number '6' in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction.

I told you so!!! And there's nothing you can do about it! You and I both know how stupid it is, but before the day is done you are going to try it again and again and again if you've not already done so. :lol:

It was confirmed on Brainiac a few years ago that it is possible to lick your elbow.

I suppose it's the whole mystery of it, whether or not you can do it haha.
Also, someone may have had an itch there once and went about getting rid of it by licking their elbow, thoguht to themselves "omg I can't lick my elbow!" passed the message on and voila... everyone tries to lick their elbows :D
