Wanna Drive Yourseslf Crazy?
This is one of the strangest things I have ever encountered.

While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.

Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand.

Your foot will change direction and there's nothing you can do about it.

This WILL drive you crazy.

2. hmmmmm....
...yeah...it changed...nothing I could do...but...


I wonder if a professional drummer could manage it; their limbs are used to working independently all at once.

Anyone?

5. I can do it
However, I'm organist and used to having my feet and hands working independently.

7. I also can do it
Edited on Tue Dec-14-04 02:37 PM by jpgray
And I play keyboard and stringed instruments as well. I suck at drumming, but I bet drummers can do it. This concludes my procrastination for the day.

:P

20. I've played guitar since I was eight, piano since I was ten
And I can't do it. I'm not a professional, but I do play as often as I possibly can.

10. I have no problem doing this.
I'm not a drummer or an organist. Am I a freak?
