....alison, I can also touch my nose with the tip of my tongue.(working on the eyebrow trick..*grin*)I can also vibrate my eyes rapidly back & forth..drives people carzy!

Bonnie...when I was younger..(oh, 35-40 years younger)..I could sit in lotus posture--then, since I was thin, there was a space in the bend of each knee, where I could insert my arms THROUGH the locked knees, bend them around my shins, bend over and lock my hands behind my head!..I did not have the natural flexibility you speak of, but when I was doing Yoga back then, I surprised even myself..

...about the 3-leaf clover with the tongue..saw an article in a magazine many years ago about that...said there were 4 tricks

1) the clover thing
2) folding the tip of the tongue straight back
3) making a tube of the length of the tongue
4) turning the front half of it upside down, like 1/2 a Moebius strip

they said no one had ever been found who could do all 4...so one of my high school friends immediately did them..
