Damn My Foot

In an effort to kill time, so as not to be an old fuddy-duddy and go to bed at 10:30 on a Saturday night, I went online and googled 'most interesting fact.' The first fact on the first page that popped up was as follows:

While sitting at your desk make clockwise circles with your right foot. (go ahead no one will see you) While doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction.

I, of course, tried, and of course, the damn foot changed direction. Now the big question is this: Is my foot overly tied to the motion of my hand or is my brain overly fond of the power of suggestion? I tried again, and stopped all motion when the foot started to turn in the other direction.

I would like to say that I am capable of patting my head and rubbing my stomach at the same time. My hands do what they are told. My foot is more contrary.

  1. At least you made it past 10:30; I couldn't keep my eyes open psst 9:30...but, then again, I am an old fuddy-duddy.

  2. What's worse is that when I concentrate and force my foot to continue moving clockwise, my hand refuse to make a six and loops the opposite direction! Next time you think you're completely in control, try this!
