HOW SMART IS YOUR RIGHT FOOT?

You have to try this please, it takes 2 seconds. I could not believe this! It is from an orthopaedic surgeon............ This will confuse your mind and you will keep trying over and over again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but, you can't. It is pre-programmed in your brain!

1. 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, if you've not already done so.

you can keep "The Change"

I had to really concentrate, but I was able to do it, too. It's like the rubbing your belly with one hand while you pat your head with the other. With concentration, you can train your brain to do it.

Well, I certainly couldn't do it either. I'm just happy no one was around to witness my horrible attempt!! Now when it comes to the belly rub and head pat, I'm a pro!!

I've heard of this before. Sometimes I can do it and sometimes I can't. I guess it depends on whether I'm having a smart day or not!

MG, I did as you instructed with success! Then I tried it with the other side. As my foot made the cirlce, my left wing, er, hand, spun involuntarily out of control, writing out '666'.

What does this mean?

Life's journey is not to
arrive at the grave safely
in a well preserved body,
but rather to skid in sideways,
totally worn out, shouting
'...holy sh*t ...what a ride!'

I did this with the students in my Nutrition class today. They thought it was so funny. We laughed about it for several minutes. Then we had a lefty (left-handed, not left-wing) try it with her right foot and her left hand and it caused no direction change. Then she tried it with left foot and left hand, but the class was laughing so hard by then that I don't know what happened. So, I'm wondering if it is a right brain / left brain issue or what. But, I certainly don't know what the 666 means, Seamus. Thanks for the laughs, MG.
