My friend told me that you can't hum whilst you are holding your nose closed. I didn't believe her so i gave it a go and i couldn't hum at all. So obviously, this failure led to investigations on the limitations of the human body and the small percentage of people who defy these limitations. This is what i came up with.
Many people can't raise just one eyebrow.
I can. I often raise one eyebrow whilst viewing threads on DS. You can even teach yourself to raise one eyebrow.
Lick your elbow
I can't do this.
Apparently 75% of the people told they can't lick their elbows immediately tried to lick their elbows.
Touch your nose with your tongue (and other tongue related oddities)
Gene Simmons can but us mortals struggle with this. However, a few people do have amazing tongue skills. Are you one of these?
Tickle yourself.
The cerebellum can predict sensations when your own movement causes them but not when someone else does. Damn you cerebellum, I want to tickle myself.
Autofellatio
I can do this. Why do you think I haven't been on DS for the last week.
Why do dogs lick their balls? Because they can.
We will talk about the paralyzed finger and the rotating six later.
What unusual things can you do with your body that will amaze and horrify me at the same time?

I recall at school playing cricket, I stood at the crease with one foot at 12 o'clock, and the other at 25-to and the teacher going "WTF?" (modern translation).
I can also bend my thumbs right back.
I have no idea about auto fellatio. Probably years ago before my gut got in the way, though never tried it as the concept does not appeal in any shape or form. Like the cleaning the house - I get someone else in to do it.
I'm not sure i can do the foot rotation but i can place my hand flat on the table and rotate it 360 degrees.
Edit - to an extent obviously
Try this: while sitting on a chair, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles. Then, while doing that, draw the number 6 with your right hand. Your foot desperately wants to change direction. Can you feel it?
I can do this weird thing with my thumb where i can move it so the joint goes one way and the tip goes the other. Not sure if its partially dislocated but it looks horrible even though its painless. Can only do it with one thumb though for some reason.
As a kid i used to be able to sit on the ground with my legs out straight and then bend them at the knees so my feet were out at a right angle. It was painless and my party trick. Until i dislocated my knee in an unrelated incident several years later and i darent tey it anymore.
I can do that!
I can also use each eye basically independently to focus which gives me really good peripheral vision. (Comes at the expense of binocular vision and depth perception though)
Other than the eyebrows, seems we have the same body.
We should form a double act and go on Britain's Got Talent.
Bring Picto with you and he can auto-fellate while you two wiggle your thumbs and bend your legs. It's a sure-fire ratings winner.
I can lick my elbow and nose and I can touch the top of my head with my foot.
For a fat guy, i'm pretty flexible.
I'm quite big and I can do the splits and also put my palms on the floor without bending my knees. Us fatties can sure move!
It's why we shouldn't be underestimated, our big shells disguise our true nature.
I can do that too, and also hyperextend my elbows to a very sharp angle, that gets people very weirded out!
Not really remarkable though as i suspect nearly everyone can do that.
