Try it...
I'm really busy with work today... so I thought I'd give you an assignment, too...
This is a good one-so strange that our brains just won't let it happen!
My daughter came home from school with these instructions the other day. I wish there were some way all three of us--my kid, my husband and me--could have been filmed as we all sat on the couch, franticaly TRYING to do it.
I am with the Bloggus Nuttus! Diane, you are a magical elf, ensuring that we look like idiots, while you are gliding through your work like a graceful swan! Sorceress, you! x
as i was reading the instructions, my hand was still on the mouse and as I was rotating my foot, my hand started moving the mouse in the same direction, and there was NO way I could stop!!! arghhh
You certainly got us going there! Pigsknuckle - now there's a name. I like,no love, comments too - but my punctuation will get you mad - there again mabe the brit humour might compensate? There again....
maybe the narcotics are disrupting my typical brain activity because I had no trouble doing that just now. Probably so, since then I finished drawing my phone number in the air and it took a few minutes to realize I wasn't actually on the phone with myself.
AAaaarrrrggghgghghggh....!!! You got me! I'm usually good at things like this! I misread it first and missed the thing about the right hand, so I did the circle w/ my right foot and did a 6 fine w/ my left hand. Then I realized it shoulda been my right hand. I tried doing a 6 first by itself, and then added in the foot. It was fine when I started both together, but when I tried to do the 6 when my foot was already in motion, my foot went back the other way.

I am pretty sure I look like an idiot right now!
That's horribly mean, Diane :-P

Good thing I'm here alone!! LOL
Do i get extra credit for doing this assignment early? We did this last week at work. I tried and tried but couldn't trick the brain. WEird
Damn that would have been fun, but now I am on a crowded train and there is no way...
I will try that later; it might look a bit weird if I do this in the lab.:P

Way to feel like a spazz... Thanks, Diane :)
No i don't wanna do it!!!
Do I have to???
Ok, i will try!! Nope couldn't do it!!!
HAPPY ST. PADDY'S DAY TO YOU!!!!
I am not going to tell you how many times I have tried this throughout the years.
I'm totally going to take your word for it.
Dropped my shoe and woke up the guy at the next desk!
wow ,thats clever in a weird sort of way........
Happy St. Patty's Day, Diane!
(My Scottish friend at work tells me that St. Patrick was really a Scotsman. Whatcha ya think about that? Weird.)
OHHH so uncomfortable. eeek i dont like it!
You certainly got us going there!

My God! That is spooky:)
Sorry folks. Didn't work for me!
Very odd! What about a good drummer? Drummers are used to have all four going simultaneously.

tried it, can't do it without my foot being commandeered by my finger. Usually the foot ends up in the mouth.
Arrrrrgh!
Okay, I had to try this like 8 times to see if I could do it without switching directions!!! Funny little break to my day - thanks!
sorry.
A bit ambidextrous, I
so even in my mind's eye
my foot did the clock fine,
and I drew an upside down nine.
Do I win a piece of apple pie?
