My husband wants to know how many other people can spread their toes like this. He guarantees me that everyone who sees this compelling photo will pull off their shoe and try (and will post to the blog about it — hee hee). Now that you’ve seen this photo, can you go to bed tonight without trying?
OK. Now that you’ve tried on one foot, can you do it on the other? Can you do it without making a face?
For the record, I can’t do this. Of course, I can’t make the Vulcan “live long and prosper” sign with my fingers either.

Well, I can spread all my toes apart, but my big toe doesn’t kind of kick up like his does.
I can do it on both feet.
And…I can raise each one of my eyebrows, one at a time, in rapid succession. Or slowly. Whichever is most appropriate for the moment. I don’t know anyone else who can do that. (the-one-eyebrow-at-a-time thing–most people can only do one eyebrow.)

Weird on the eyebrow thing! Of course, I had to go try it. Nope, can’t do that either. But I can curl my tongue into a U.

Hmm, I can do the toe thing and curl my tongue. But I can’t raise either brow independently
It is forever a disappointment to me. The few times I’ve tried, my daughter has gotten hysterical saying I look like I’m trying to flirt with her in a demented way.

LOL! Tawny, I can just picture you trying the eyebrow thing.

I used to be able to before I got that toe injury in college…

Yes on the left foot, no on the right. Do I get extra points for being able to wiggle my ears?
Your husband must be a hoot to live with

I can!!! ME ME ME ME ME ME! I didn’t even have to try, because I already knew I could…Sad!

I can do the toes, the Vulcan thing and the tongue thing. I can’t do the eyebrow thing. Always wanted to, though.

LOL! Kendra, you crack me up.
Marianne, yes, the hubby is a hoot.

I can spread the toes on both feet(and I already knew it). I can also do the following neat trick, but only with my right foot. I can bend down my big toe while leaving the other toes in place, then bend down all my other toes while leaving the big toe in place. Ask him if he can do that.
But I’d give it all up if I could raise one eyebrow. I am a champion winker with both eyes, however.
