Strange foot thing

Post by Stan Sakai »

HOW SMART IS YOUR RIGHT FOOT?

It is from an orthopedic surgeon............ This will boggle your
mind and you will keep you trying over and over again to see if you
can outsmart your foot, but, you can't. It's preprogrammed in your
brain!

1. Without anyone watching you (they will think you are GOOFY......)
and while sitting where you are at your desk in front of your
computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise
circles.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your
right hand. Your foot will change direction.

I told you so!!!

And there's nothing you can do about it! You and I both know how
stupid it is, but before the day is done you are going to try it
again, if you've not already done so.

I tried this, and it worked! That's really weird! Where did you find this information?

I have a friend that e-mails me these weird trivia. Her latest one is about Abraham Lincoln and John F Kennedy. I had heard most of these before, but not all of them. Of course, they are all coincidences, but weird coincidences. This is the kind of stuff that makes conspiracy theorists salivate.



Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.&n bsp;
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the head.

Now it gets really weird.

Lincoln 's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln .

Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln , was born in 1808.
Ly ndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.




John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln , was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.




Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Now hang on to your seat.

Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford.'
Kennedy was shot in a car called ' Lincoln ' made by 'Ford.'

Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a
warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a
theater.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

And here's the kicker...

A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe , Maryland
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe.




Creepy huh? Hey, this
is one history lesson people don't mind reading.

That foot thing blew my wife's mind. Then she somehow managed to keep going opposite directions, even after she drew the "6"!

I still can't do it.

I don't know if it does work with english people, but in france there is a funny test :
how make 5+1
4+2
3+3

repeat in your mind the number

say a vegetable

(98% of people says the same vegetables)

I let you try and make the test with your friends (don't tell them to think about the vegetable before they repeat six six quite a moment)
