Special bodily characteristics

[Nero]

Keef tells us he has keyhole eyeballs. What do other EDF-ites have that are peculiar to them?

I'll start the ball rolling - I have eyelashes that grow out of the corners of my eyes (nose side). Sometims one pupil is bigger than the other - Adies syndrome, I believe. Not always, just sometimes. Nero

[Bellenden Belle]

I have double jointed elbows.

I was also informed by a friend who met Katie and Tom's baby (as in Cruise and Holmes for you non-Heat readers that she, Sufi, looks just like me).

That means I look like Tom and Katies love child... frightening.

[elizlondon]

Well, not so much have, as haven't, or rather, can't. Apparently it's genetic if you can't curl your tongue, but as far as I know the rest of my family can, while I can't.

Oh, and not a physical thing you can see as such, but I have synaesthesia (more info here too, and I bet after reading the link, there will be at least one other person on the forum with it who'll say 'there's a name for it? I thought everyone did that!')

Oh cool.

My mate's guitar teacher had that. I've *ahem* artificially induced it in my wayward youth.

[elizlondon]

Hee hee, yeah I think quite a few people could join you in that claim.

Most of my associations are the more common ones (colours with letters and words, numbers, months etc), but there's a few that relate to specific...er...sensations, that make me quite unique according to one researcher.

I work with someone who has that. In fact, she also lives quite nearby, over in Honour Oak. I wonder how common it is...

[nutty]

I can fit a tennis ball in my mouth (and close my mouth around it). I believe my jaw dislocates on one side (due to the big clunk that happens when I open my mouth wide). Quite a cool party trick...

[Bellenden Belle]

I can put my fist in my mouth!

Tiny hands I think,rather than a big mouth (others may disagree)

[Keef]

As well as the keyhole thing, I can make one eye stay still and the other one move :)) Also, my shoulders sort of pop out of socket when a raise my arms, a fact I discovered painfully when putting my hand up to answer a teacher's question at school. Am I a bit of a freak? :-S

[Bea]

No Keef, you sound quite the darling! I myself have a perfect bottom - according to a Limerick I have been reading. I am actually rather chubby, but as I always wear jeans (white) and have stilts on underneath, I look perfectly proportioned!

Oh oh I can do that too!

[Keef]

COOL!!!!!!!! >:D<

One of mine goes in to the middle, as if cross eted, and the other one moves around..... The world looks very strange when you're doing it :-S

It's good to know I'm not alone ;-)

[elizlondon]

Yeah, I can move them both independently - I start cross-eyed and then move one and then the other. Freaks people out! Forgot I could do that :)

[mlteenie]

I can raise my big toes to at least vertical whilst standing flat on the floor.... thought everyone could until someone called me a freak. Perfect in Birkies.

[Huguenot]

Yep Harry, these are the ones, put 'em in the lorry....

[Michael Palaeologus]

One pupil bigger than the other - Isnt that concussion?

I have quivering leg syndrome.

[dulwichmum]

Isn't that a problem for post menopausal women?

[citizenED]

I can put my foot in my mouth...and regularly do.

Not really related, but if you have hairy fingers, gentlemen, try pulling them, especially those nearest the fingernail. V painful. Have a go! Nero

[lofty]

Ouch!!

[TillieTrotter]

You're so sexist Nero, I have incredibly hairy fingers, you can barely see my fingernails:)

[shambles]

no lewd comments please but i have always been able to put both my legs around my neck and pull my arms through! my mum took a photo of me once and it looks like i'm leaning on a beanbag!!

[Nero]

I've got white flecks on some nails. It is not a calcium deficiency, apparently. Maybe zinc? Always had them. Nero

My party piece used to be getting into the lotus position whilst sanding on my head (oo er). Haven't tried it for a while - not been to those sort of parties - so not sure if still can!
