@GracieGirl,
Purposely, no.

Accidentally, sometimes.

@GracieGirl,
Accidentally like people who know me say I raise one eyebrow sometimes, but it's never when I'm thinking "I will now raise my eyebrow," it's when I'm thinking things like "did you actually just say that?"

I can't seem to purposely reproduce it (even when I think highly skeptical thoughts).

Yup, but only my left one.

I can also do the Star Trek - Vulcan hand sign, 'Live long and prosper'. Laughing

Not only can I touch my toes, but I can put the palms of my hands on the floor next to my feet without bending my knees.

@Reyn,
Me too, but can only do it with my left hand. The muscles in the right hand's fingers just won't work that way.

I can raise one eyebrow--with effort. But it also works independently of my efforts. When my mother visited my high school on parents' night, she spoke with my English teacher who said that she knows when I know an answer. I don't have to raise my hand. My left eyebrow goes up. After my mother told me about this, I spent the rest of the term with my hand on my forehead to keep my eyebrows from moving around.

I can do the Vulcan salute with either hand. Didn't know others couldn't.

I can wiggle my ears.

I used to be able to get my feet up to my hairline or beyond. Haven't tried it lately.

Can't think of any more hidden talents. If something occurs to me, I'll be back.

@Roberta,
Remember Pifka? She said she could stand flat footed on one foot and place the other on a kitchen counter.

That should go on the "Things I Miss" thread. I miss Pifka.
