I wore contacts for a couple years. After the first few times it's a piece of cake, really.

put contacts in? Sure. how the hell else would I see?

Touch my eyeball without a contact between it and my finger ...well I can, but it's generally not a pleasant sensation, so I don't.

Touch my eyeball? No problem.
I can do the knuckle thing, but not as good as my daughter.
Can you wiggle your ears? I can. Without touching them, that is.

I can do the eyeball thing and the knuckle thing.

Can you bend your thumb back so the top joint forms a 90 degree angle?

I can. (picture later if anyone wants to see)

I can touch my eyeball, wiggle my ears (even one at a time, woohoo!), do the Vulcan hand thing, and simultaneously write in reverse & upside down. Even write with both hands at the same time so that the script converges in a mirror-image way, but only with the same word(s). There is no known market for any of my special talents, though. *sigh*

I can do the finger thing and touch my eyeball.
Can you roll your tongue? Turn it sideways? Or make a 3-leaf clover out of it? Or make it really 'fat'?

ETA: there is a market for my talents, wink wink nudge nudge.

Pie! My daughter can do the tongue thing. When ever she demonstrates, I have to remind myself that she is only 13 and has no idea what kind of comments she will be opening herself to pretty soon, if she continues.

I can do the writing backward thing too, with my left hand. I demonstrated this for my son just two nights ago after we were using his mini-whiteboard to practice math. I wrote something, he gave me a funny look and I told him to go check it in the mirror.

There used to be a TV weather guy who wrote things backwards as he stood behind a glass panel with the map on it; I always thought that was pretty nifty.

Touch my eyeball - yes.
One knuckle only - yes.
Hitchhiker thumb - yes.
Tongue roll etc. - yes - though I can't roll my R's.
Can't do the ears or the backward writing.

But I can wiggle my nose. I wiggled it during our wedding vows trying to make Mrs. Dar crack up, but she managed to resist.

I can touch my eyeball. I can't do the knuckle thing but I can form a star trek V but curl the two fingers in the middle around my pointer and pinkie, without assistance from the other hand(s)

I can roll my tongue, fold it over, and under....but could never trill my r's.


I can stand on my toes, if I don't have shoes on. Actually they fold under and I stand on them, not on point.

I'm talentless.

Yes to the knuckle thing, hitchikers thumb and the eyeball thing. The only fancy thing I can do with my tongue is tie a cherry stem in a knot. But that is even with the help of my teeth. I can write backwards, too.
