no i dont have webbed feet.. doolallygirl do all you toes spread at an even amount and what would you say in mm is the space.. ( just curious if i wasnt a donkey and did have toes and i could spread them how far they would spread and would it be even )
My hubby thinks that i'm weird because I can move my big toe independently from the rest and likewise with my little toe. I can spread them apart so that my little toe is at one side , my big toe at the other and three little piggies remaining in the middle together ! I wiggle either my big toe or little toe on it's own just to annoy him. I thought that everyone could do this because my parents and siblings can but hubby can't and several of my friends can't , so maybe I AM weird !
ps Have to laugh at my hubby thinking that I am weird for this .... this from the man who boasts that he can curl his tongue right up and whistle with it. Yuk ! I hate when he does this !!! Can anyone else do that because I have only met a few people who can actually curl up their tongue but yet to meet another tongue whistler (Thankfully ! )
There is a good 5-8mm gap between the "little toes" each and about 2cm between my big toe and the one next to it. I can curl my tongue too! And flare my nostrils. And another thing that I can do (and haven't met another that can do it) is move my eyes independently. I go cross eyed then move my right eye right and left while my left eye is still looking inwards staying still. Can anyone else do this or am I a FREAK?!
Mine move in a funny way, but I suppose they spread.
I will always remember the comment of a friend who had been to a health farm and lost weight (not that she needed to): she couldn't get over the fact that there were now spaces between her toes when she looked down at them
I can do all the same things as you Doolallygirl, apart from the eye thing! My brother does that though(although he's actually missing a muscle from that eye that lets him do that...) My dad can rock his scalp back and forth too! A family of freaks, I think. Oh, and did I mention I'm double jointed?
My brother used to turn his eye lids inside out, shine a torch up to his face & scare me in the dark! I wouldn't mind but he's 10 years older than me & should have known better, bless him!
I can curl my tongue (in a U-shape) which I think about two-thirds of people can do (it's a genetic thing), and I can touch my nose with the tip of my tongue. Oh, and I can fly around the room by flapping my ears (but only on Thursdays when nobody else is watching).
I can curl my tongue, wiggle my ears, turn my eyelids inside-out, move my big toe independently, flair my nostrils and dance the fandango, but I can't spread my other toes.
bernardo, can I come 'round your house tomorrow and pretend not to watch?
So which Circus/Freak show do you all belong to and are you coming to my town?
Seriously though i can do the tongue-tube whistling thing but that's about it.
My daughter can pull her thumb back until it touches her forearm!
Sorry, Indie - I've tried that trick before but it never works. Sometimes I wonder why I can't fly and then I realise that someone is halfway down the road within sight of the window - so there must be some sort of tuckblankian karma-god who mucks it up whenever I'm not on my own. In any case, I will be too busy this week making poisonous treacle-cakes for my next-door-neighbour's invisible pet penguin for it to eat before the exploding-mushroom season starts.
