Am I Weird?

Sick and in bed, my school iPad is glowing with the YouTube logo. I'm watching a daily show, Good Mythical Morning, when I see an episode titled "Things Most Humans Can't DO (TEST)" and decided to watch it. Let's talk about that?

Rhett and Link are two very well known YouTubers and host the morning show. This particular episode (link at the end) was targeting how amazing the human body is, yet how limited some of us seem to be. I encourage all of you to watch the video and play along with the boys as I do, but I have the benefit of being in my room and behind a keyboard.

Wiggling Your Ears
Rhett states he cannot do this, but Link demonstrates his ability. Well, Link, you and I have that in common. Heck, there's even a WikiHow page on how to do so.

Personally, I've trained myself for years to be able to wiggle my ears. When I was little, my dad used to do it to make me laugh and I tried to copy him. It never worked until I was thirteen and freaked my friends out when my ear twitched. It's actually an inherited thing, so thanks dad!

Raising One Eyebrow
Did you also know there's a WikiHow page about this, too? But admit it, you didn't think about WikiHow when you read the subheading. You thought of the famous Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Well, you're not alone.

I cannot perform this task, although I really want to.

Roll Your Tongue
We just went over that in biology class last year. Rolling your tongue, like wiggling your ears, is an inherited thing. However, my mum and dad could do it, but it wasn't until last year that I was able to master this super power. (I'm talking about the regular tongue rolling, not the three-leaf clover)

I actually know many, many people who can do this. I felt so left out over the years, especially since BOTH of my parents could do it. Like, seriously?! What took you so long, gene?!

Tickle Yourself
People have told me it's impossible, but I can tickle myself and genuinely laugh. Weird, right? A friend of my mum's found out and basically thought I had the plague. Some people can tickle themselves using a feather of something, but no. I can actually tickle myself without anything and genuinely laugh. (It's a psychological thing, apparently.) In the video, Rhett mentions that schizophrenic people can tickle themselves, but let me assure you that I am not schizophrenic. I just had to Google what it means a few seconds ago.

It's the end of the world!!

Touch Your Nose With Your Tongue
Straight up, I can't do this and I look awful when trying.

Touch Your Elbow With Your Tongue
Nope, and I look stupid doing this, too.

Gleeking
I don't even know what this is. Rhett and Link, where did you get these things?

Twitch Your Nose
Like a bunny? No. I can srcunch it up out of disgust and flare my nostrils, but twitch it is not a thing for me.


Some of these things I can do, and some of them I can't. You be the judge! Am I weird or 100% human? Comment below what you can do, too!
