Not really a joke. . .but same sort of thing


The human brain truly is a mystery.

While sitting at your desk make clockwise circles with your right foot.
While doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand.

What direction is your foot going now??

;D

Seems everyone I know got that email the same day ::).  Just yesterday my grandfather told me to do the same thing.  Took me ten minutes of trying to get to where I could do both.  Its a great concentration exercise!

Ouch... that hurts, now I have smoke coming out of my ears what with starting calculus, physics U.S. formative history, and business management classes, then trying to do this silly stunt! Still funny though...

It is because the brain is separated into the left and right parts of the body. If you try to do two thing with the right part you will most likely end up doing only one with both

My AFJROTC said that to us. Apparently he got it too!
