[QUOTE=Magelord648]Same here. My brother can though so it couldn't be genetic. I can't lick my elbow. :( [/QUOTE]
I can lick mine.

[QUOTE=Magelord648]You should rephrase that to. None can lick their elbow. You're saying noone could lick my elbow (which they could). Lets be more serious then. I can't touch my nose with my tounge.[/QUOTE]
I can also lick my nose.

Without getting into specifics, let's just say I have an extremely disturbed childhood. :)

As for can't, I can't be woken up by having an alarm on full volume, having my brother then both yell at me to wake up, and pushing me in the back to wake up. It only ended when he threw something at me. :rolleyes: What can I say? I like my sleep.

[QUOTE=dragon wench]I cannot, for the life of me, snap my fingers. I have tried, and tried, but I've never had any success.

I heard once that it was some kind of genetic trait, kind of like being able to roll your tongue or something, but I have no idea how accurate that actually is :D [/QUOTE]
I used to not be able to snap my fingers. I can on my right hand now, but it's not perfect. And I most definitely can't roll my tongue. I also can't, uh, tie a cherry stem with my tongue. :o

[QUOTE=JonIrenicus]I can't make a spoon stay on my nose.[/QUOTE]
I can't, either, but to be fair, I haven't tried in quite some time. Or, ever, that I can recall. It's not exactly something I can put on my resumé.

[QUOTE=Lestat]I can't whistle, not properly anyway. :o Never got the hang of it...[/QUOTE]
Neither can I. I couldn't whistle for quite some time, but then I decided to try and whistle by sucking air in instead of blowing it out. I couldn't even blow bubbles with bubble gum until I was 17. Boy, that was an odd day for me; chewing gum in the middle of class, and then suddenly I had a bubble. I was so excited... god, I was such a lame kid.

I cannot sleep when there's any warmth. I've discovered I can barely stand sleeping next to someone at night because the body heat practically overrides my ability to sleep. I have to have the a/c set low so the vent will be constantly blowing air on me in order to sleep. So, basically, I can't sleep with anyone. :(

A few of my friends recently learned how to blow a bubble with their gum, it drove me nuts for months :mad:

I totally understand about the warmth thing and I am glad I'm not the only one. Heck in the winter I'll even crack my window and I'll sleep like a drunk baby.:laugh: :cool:

The weird thing, though, is that when I wake up, I'm freezing cold, so then I have to turn the heat on for a while. And I love the cold, so how that happens I really don't know.

Well, I cant hold my temper too well... Several family memebers found this out, and my girl took the full force of it 3 times. I dont know why she stays with me, knowing that, that can happen again.

Other then that, I cant sleep when its hot. Other people there with me doesnt bother me, but I have to sleep with a blanket. I dont know why. :confused:

I can't understand women... always looking at me and giggling. Maybe I should buy a mirror.

Apparently, I can't drink again. One drink usually leads to many, and then I'm throwing up everywhere. So, I can't drink alcohol. :(

The trick is to only try and drink it once you stop vomitting.

Wow, I'm actually feeling fairly talented reading this thread. Of the things mentioned, I can do the following:
Cut cheese, blow my nose, snap my fingers (both hands, thumb+any finger except pinky), ride a bike, swim, put a spoon on my nose, whistle, lick my nose (but not after blowing), blow bubbles (not through my nose), tie a cherry stem with my tongue and sleep through just about any noise/light/temperature. I used to have problems sleeping but 5 years living in a fraternity and I can sleep through a fire alarm and someone screaming my name and banging on my window (but my wife can't..... which means I couldn't for long). :D

The only simple thing I can't do is sleep with the TV on. Oh, and I can't go to bed at a reasonable time when my wife is away.

With summer in full swing I'm reminded of my failure to complete a flip off the diving board. It's weird, I get a little more than halfway through and then wham! my lizard brain takes over and I violently twist out of the flip to land (often painfully) on my side/stomach. I tried repeatedly and no matter what I did it all ended the same way; abort!, abort!
Weird.
I can't go on. I will go on.

I can not sleep on airplanes. Any other vehicle I fall asleep in VERY quickly, but on a plane I just get very, very tired.

Also, I can't read in a car. I just... can't. I dunno. I just get so distracted by what is outside the window. Again, any other vehicle it goes just fine.

An odd thing: I can clasp my hands together behind my back by reaching over my shoulder with my right hand, and under with my left. But vice versa is not possible.

I cannot start ANY large project (of my own) unless LOTS of people are nagging on me to do it. Such as that damn comic of mine. :(

I can't stand silence.
