How smart is your right foot?
How smart is your Right Foot?
Just try this -
it's from an orthopedic surgeon and it will boggle your mind. You will
keep trying over and over again to see if you can outsmart your foot,
but you can't. It's preprogrammed in your brain!
1. WITHOUT anyone watching you (they will think
you are GOOFY) and while sitting where you are 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.

I can do it with my right foot, every time (and have witnesses that can now confirm I am very strange).
But, as I am left handed, I tried it with my left foot and left hand and every time my foot reverses.
Does this mean I should go and buy a T-Rex and enter every 3D comp in the universe?

I was able to do it on the third try, and I am right handed. But they must be in sync. With enough practice, I would be able to have them completely independent of each other.
A good drummer would be able to do it also.
You can train your brain to do many amazing things. It's all with practice.
Like singing and playing piano at the same time. Which I practice, and do. My left and rights hands are doing two different things, while my voice is doing another. The more complicated the syncopations, and rhythms are, the more you need to practice it.
Kind of like using rudder, and airelons at the same time.
3D flying also, the same principal.

I tried it once. Went just as you said. I tried harder the 2nd time. I did fine for about 2 seconds then everything reverted. Damn foot made me mad, so I shot it. Now I don't have the problem anymore.

Took me ten times (at least). Definitely dates back to when humans were "hardwired" for motion on two feet! It must be one of those vestigal nervous system anomalies (i.e. a holdover from earlier human development). Or I am just a klutz!

First time. But then I WAS concentrating on it. Just a bit... ;-3)>

I hope I can remember which number to trace when I need to get out of them in a hurry or I'll fall over like Henry Gibson with his tricycle on Laugh In.
6 to get out.
Henry Gibson was a hoot on Laugh in. Gee's I must be old to remember that. Goldie Hawn became a star by playing a dumb bimbo.
Ruth Buzzi just a great comedian.
And I'd like to nominate Aviatordave for the
Fickled Finger of Fate award for starting this thread.

My grandkids already think I'm a nerd, but when they saw me doing this, I'm pretty sure they know I am now for sure. BTW! I had my foot, my finger going and then I noticed I had my tongue and parts of my face going too. I'm sure it was a pretty gruesome sight.

Warning!
I was practicing keeping my right foot going around in the same direction while I drew the 6. It got it going pretty good with one 6, then with two 6's in a row. I tried three 6's in a row and my head suddenly spun completely around. Don't even try it!
