The mind boggles....
on: April 28, 2005, 01:38:19 PM
This is so funny that it will boggle your mind. And you will keep trying at least 50 more times to see if you can outsmart your foot, but you can't.

 

1. While sitting at your desk, 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........And there's nothing you can do about it!

You mean 6 with the Rh and 6 with the lh - in the same direction!!  Next you'll be saying plus write 6 with your lh foot as well - but that would worry me monsignor satan!!

well, not quite. this is a bit too elementary to be classified in this subject.
Next you'll be saying plus write 6 with your lh foot as well - but that would worry me monsignor satan!!

oh, wait, before adding feet, it is encouraged that one masters the hand exercises first. try to draw your face with the lh, and, draw, say, satan's face, with rh.

lol.... you really think i am monsignor satan just coz i didnt have any problem doing your mind boggles thing, huh? well, i can only think of two things: 1. you are a kind dude and you give compliment a bit too easily (the monsignor satan thing was an affectionate call, wasn't it?) 2. prolly, just a suggestion ;D, you need to go out more, and see the world.

btw, i dont want us to get sidetracted. now, try to get back to last exercise and this time don't give up just coz you never see me. easy hint: draw your face with your lh and tom cruise with your lh.

HeHeee...You're winding me up right?! 1) I retract the satan thing now cos he would have spotted the inline 666 joke (see previous reply).  2) I do .. and oh I have.  Where do you live - im thinking US? do you rarely get out of the US and see the world!? ;)  ;D

Tom cruise - we back to the satan thing again - Eyes wide shut!?  Huh! So how do I draw my face AND tom cruise with my lh at the same time.  See now Im thinking Satan thing again with your obsession with the Lh  (old deviant superstition if you didn't get that one!)  ;D

I can write 6 with a pen on paper and do the foot thing no problem but not write in the air with finger as well.

oh, oh, *thanks God*, i believe He has saved me from noticing the 666 sign. lol. such a wicked joke you made! saw another satan thing you said on the other thread. lol....what's up with it? hmm, you gotta teach me how to take your 666 jokes as a thing to laugh about. btw, been to different countries. hmm..you are a rare find! *counts the number of people who jokes alot about 666*

hmm, who is obsessed with satan here? lol. with enough dedication to pertaining your obsession, you should not have any difficulties doing alot of things. just ask the mosignor s. lol. ooopps. i didnt say that. ;D watch your soul, its only good when nothing is "left" unrecognized.

lol, in fact, to write 6 with two hands and one foot is very easy to me. i can write 6 with two feet, and two hand ( breaks the 666 spell ) while mental-practicing the fugue of brahms' handel. lol, you seem to be stuck with no 6. *phew* prolly, its good to move on, now. try this one: write 1,9,8,5 with lh, rh, lf, rf, respectively.

satan gets abit outdated these days, dont your think? afterall, "he" has consequently given you a rather poor coordination. tds ;D

lol....it is interesting how people react, aint it? not only you, me but everyone. what made you think i am serious, and not joking like you claimed you were. i hope i dont sound sarcastic, anymore than trying to be just AND fun at the same time. your humor is not particularly dry. it was just a bit like that new toasted cheese sandwich i bought tonight from a new vendor accoss the street. sometimes, it takes a few try for a new thing to deliver most impact. btw, i was humor-ing, too. am surprised with your reaction. was my humor a bit too peanutie to you? tds ;)

I see.  I, on the other hand, tell it how it is.  That way everyone get's it out in the air and we don't go on misunderstanding each other.  So if I have a problem I say what's on my mind.  I don't think its judgmental - its just common sense to communicate.   Im not uncomfortable now with the "sarcasm" because you cleared it, and when you are yourself again with the peanut humour thing I know.  Its more difficult on the net because you can't see facial expressions, or detect a tone in the voice (obvious!).

Try cheese & onion sandwich - my favourite supper!  You'll explode!

"Its more difficult on the net because you can't see facial expressions, or detect a tone in the voice (obvious!)." sdl

it is exactly due to this reason i dont tend to say things like "you are sarcastic" or "you are pedantic" et, al. when i think i detected some possible sarcassms, i ask questions, and always avoid delivering possible premature judgements as much as i can. i try to learn to maintain some thoughtfulness, and enjoy a state of level-headness......when i still have the opportunity to.

i understand your way and can respect that (as long as we are indulged with adequte time to explain each other's way and reconcile afterward)

so cheese and union sandwich, huh? i like that too. what cheese do you put in yours?

I didn't say you WERE/are sarcastic I said :

I think you are a defensive type (I think, think being the operative word here, meaning - its not a confirmed opinion) and that..... you've turned it into a macho sarcastic thing, which is not a persistent personal accusatory remark, rather statement of perception by me about your reply, then later I said you came across as Sarcastic.  We could 'split hairs' all night with these semantics  ;D



so cheese and union sandwich, huh? i like that too. what cheese do you put in yours?

In my sandwich you mean!!  I like Wenslydale with cranberry, or a strong mature English/Irish/Scottish cheddar

whats your selection like?

btw Im wont be online for 1.5 weeks now -  so not ignoring you.  I will answer all your replies when I get back with more personal and worldly skills!
