OFF TOPIC - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

cabojohn · 01-15-2008, 04:55 PM

I got an email today...thought I would share it.

Its very off topic -

Ok! How smart is your right foot?

Just try this very simple experiment. It is from an orthopedic surgeon.
This will boggle your mind and you will keep 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're going NUTS) and while sitting where you are 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 directions.
Go on try it again, but this time really concentrate.

There's noth! ing 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 haven't done so already.

Ok , one more time.

Very funny! My dog was looking at me as if I had lost my mind.

Dang, I can keep three lines in the water on a kayak without getting tangled but I can't keep my foot from changing direction. I'm going to win a lot of free beers with that one. Thanks!

Sounds crazy...you're right, my wife thought I was nuts watching me do this in front of the 'puter

Ouch. Now my brain hurts.

Good one.
If you write with the right and move your left foot you can do it. Do it with dominate hand and foot and you get funny loks.

quietman · 01-16-2008, 05:45 PM

...oddly enough I can do it.

I am pretty much ambidexterous, and Left-eye
dominant...

...not sure what it means, other than I am not normal,
which wasn't news...

BTW... John is your avatar picture from the "squeeze"?
...sure looks like it...

Hey John, You are correct...that is the "Squeeze"
Have you done that trail in AB?
What did you think of Heart Attack Hill? Not bad in the taco cuz of the longer wheel base...a jeep would be scarry. The hole on top was pretty deep & gnarly this time...
