I can do it really easily on my right, but it's a bit of a struggle on the left (I can still do it though). That's one of the few things I can do that you can't learn. One thing that's really really rare (I've only ever known one person who can do this), is having the ability to bend your thumbs really far backwards like a catapult.

My all of my relatives on my mothers side can do this (the thumb thing). And I can do it about half-way
Well, the thing is with the V-sign. You get it from either your father or mother. If both your mother and father can do it, than you will be able to. That would explain what Deadpool was saying.
At marble. I've tried for a long time, but can't do it. My friend couldn't do it at first either, but he learned aswell.
At issoisso. Yea, folding your tongue is the prime example of this. And for whose interested, there are a few other things as well, like your hairline (straight or in the shape of a 'wave', your ear, a little 'hole' in your chin, ...

My dad's the only person I know who can do that.

I can do it. As well as the tongue sides thing. My thumb hardly reaches 90° at best though... That goes for both sides.
One funny thing though is that when I'm standing with joined feet, there's like 3 or 4 cm wide between both my knees (if I force I can reduce that by 50 % or so). Especially the left one is far from the axis. A genuvarum they call that here, and that's causing most of my physical problems (only annoying from the sportive viewpoint though).
There's another test that some people can't do, it's grabbing your nose, standing on one foot, passing the arm of the hand holding the nose behind your thigh. Supposedly you can't do it when you're drunk, but even almost dead drunk I can still do that easily. Edited by Aquarius on 10-09-2010 22:29
