How Smart Is Your Right Foot?
This is something I got in an email chain. Probably a lot of you have already seen it. But it's pretty weird, and it's true -- at least for me.

This is so funny that it will boggle your mind. Moreover, you may keep
trying more times to see if you can outsmart your foot, but you can't.

1. While sitting at your desk, 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 make sure you pass this on to your friends...they won't be able to believe it either!

2. believe what?
sure, if you try to go fast your foot does the 6 too. if you go slow you can beat it. maybe you cant and one action is stopping without me noticing, i donno.

4. Maybe it's because I'm left-handed.
I had no problem doing it.

5. oh well
It worked as described on me. When I did the "6," my foot would reverse direction. Or start going side to side.

7. I did it with no problem
of course - my right foot is barely smart enough not to fit into my left shoe...

8. My right foot is smarter than me.
:cry: I've never had a problem with that pat your head and rub your belly thing, but this, I just can't do it. I need more practice.

9. I am really stupid
I read the instructions and had no problem. My foot didn't change direction at all. Then I realized I was actually moving it in a counterclockwise direction to begin with. So the trick doesn't seem to work if you are really stupid. :D

10. I tried to *make* my foot keep going clockwise and I felt insane!
I can't believe that. That's so weird.

11. Here's a solution...
If you start in the middle of the 6, loop
around and go to the top, your foot doesn't
change directions...it works.
