I hurt myself trying this

Attempt to do the following while sitting at your computer:

1) Lift your right foot and make clockwise circles in the air with it.

2) Now, at the same time, trace the number six in midair with your right hand.

Your foot will start turning the opposite way despite your best efforts. FREE WILL IS A LIE!!!

I sorta did it once without messing up, by going very slowly, and it felt like I was breaking the universe

This is one of those things that was designed to make you look like a fool at your desk at work. Like typing with your nose.

Eh, I can do it.

But then, I can rub my belly and pat my head at the same time, too.

Why not try this: Point your left index finger right and your right one left, so your index fingers are touching. Now try drawing circles with each one, in opposite directions.
That's harder.

Weird... guess it's just the flip side of not having to remember how to walk every time you do it...

Mwahahahaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!

I managed to keep my foot going clockwise!!!!!

It's sad that this gives me such a feeling of accomplishment.

I can pat my head and rub my belly and I can just about rub my head and pat my belly (not sure what that's harder) but no I can't do this whole rotate foot and draw out the number 6 thing.

Oh wow!

Best marketing ploy ever! The KLEENEXBOARD! Soft, fluffy tissue stuffed between spongy foam keys for a smooth, luxurious techno nasal experience!

I remember trying that back in primary school. My failure to complete the bizarre task has left me scarred to this very day.

My friend came up with something similar, try drawing a circle with one hand a square with the other at the same time. I couldn't get it.

I can do the pat/rub thing, the circle/six one, but not the circle square thing..doh...

And I don't bother to try any of it and laugh hysterically at the rest of you as you contort your limbs into highly amusing positions.

I think I win.

I demand you go read the end of KR season 5 because I drew you, Leko, and because I am also going to draw you doing something foolish, AND I WILL ROTATE MY FOOT IN A CIRCLE WHILE I DO IT.

For venegance!

Yes, I just finished reading that, and cried that I missed it.

Though I have to say, going on the Incredible Hulk roller coaster four times was pretty worth it.

And as long as you draw me, hon, I don't care how silly I look. ^_^ *attention whore*
