    Thought this could be a fun topic to start up, and lots of people probably have a quirk or two to add. So, what's a unique/funny/weird/odd trick that you can do with your body?

    To go first, I would list off that I can:
    - lick my elbow
    - touch my elbows together behind my back
    - fold my arms really far behind my head
    - hold a basketball with my stomach and ribs by sucking it in

    I can bend my hand back and bend my thumb far back enough that it pretty much lies on the back of my arm.

  8. I can pop my shoulders halfway out of the joint. I can crack my jaw. I can suck air into my stomach. And I'm not sure this is a "skill," but you know how you can fold down part of your index finger and it looks like it's missing? I can do that with all of my fingers individually on my right hand without help from my left.

    interesting, i had to google it myself to make sure. funny how classrooms still use it the most commonly to demonstrate recessive and dominant alleles in genetics though.

    I can dislocate my shoulder, and because of that I can hold my hands together and bring them around to my back or other way around, this might come in handy if I am ever in handcuffs.

    I can make this random popping noise with my tongue that many people have tried to imitate but no one else can seem to do. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
    That would have to be about the most exciting thing I can do. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: I'd describe my body as somewhat deficient in interesting things that it can do, but abundant in irritating little quirks, like my exceedingly flat feet. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I can wrap my right arm around the back of my neck, then around the front, and touch my right ear.

    I can bend my thumb below the index finger joint on the back of my hand then write with just the four fingers. Actually I'm typing this with my thumbs bent behind my hand right now.

    ... I can also sit in the lotus position without cramping ? (I dont think thiis is special but most ppl in our class couldnt do it)

    I can place my tongue behind my uvula and into my nasal cavity. I can leave it up there for quite a long time with getting uncomfortable. Which, I'm told, is pretty freaky. I've only ever met one other person who was able to do it.

    I also have an exceedingly long tongue and can touch (and pick!) my nose with it. I'm pretty sure it's length rivals that of Gene Simmons.

    I can also crack all of the joints in my fingers, from the first to the last knuckle. People keep harping on about how I'll develop arthritis, but I'm essentially genetically guaranteed to get it (every single person in my family has it in one form or another).

    Also, I'm double-jointed in ONE finger, my right index. I can make it pop back and forth.

    And that is where my weird ends.

    I usually refrain from making crude jokes but I must say you are gonna make some lady a very happy woman some day


    Oh and I forgot to mention, I can roll my tongue and make a weird clicking sound when I flex my wrist in a circle, I can make a clicking sound with my thumb by moving it in and out of joint and I am an expert at picking things up with my feet, though my mom thinks i do it out of laziness.
