This is so funny that it will boggle your mind. And you will keep trying it at least 50 more times to see if you can outsmart your foot. But you won't!!! 1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles with it. 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 is nothing you can do about it. ------------- Je suis Marxiste - tendance Groucho |

| I can do it too but it depends how you draw your 6, CW or anti-CW. |

I found that if I start drawing the cirles at the same time as drawing the six then I found in easy, but if I start drawing circles first and then after a few seconds try to draw a 6 it becomes very difficult to stop my foot changing direction. ------------- Pain is just weakness leaving the body. |

It doesn't work for me, but then again, I'm left-handed. Does it still count? ------------- http://www.lancingsc.org.uk/index.html - Lancing SC

roflmbao! It's a test to used to determine whether or not you will make it as a drummer because your hands and feet must operate independantly to be really good. The best bit though is the mental picture of you guys actually doing this (no offence intended)! ------------- Je suis Marxiste - tendance Groucho |

It's all down to which way you draw your six. I tried either and my foot embarrased me both times. Now not talking to foot. ------------- www.bluesheets.co.uk - www.bluesheets.co.uk The essential directory for all boat owners |

Hey did any of you ever see the film clip of the dog eating a bone that got an itch? Every time it tried to scratch it, the dog growled and even snapped at its own foot! I nearly cried laughing... ------------- |

So it's an aptitude test for a drummer? I could always tell when my bands drummer was knocking on the door because he never knew when to come in. We got a drum machine eventually and it was great. We only had to punch the information in once. He gave up eventually (got fed up hanging around behind musicians) and became an archeologist. He had quite an amazing discovery on a dig. They found the remains of the missing link between apes and neanderthal man - it was still wearing a Zildjian T shirt. Thank you and good night! ------------- Not all chemicals are bad.
