11/11/2006: "Let's Just Hope That God Is Indeed (As Some Physicists Claim) Left-Handed Or We Just Might Find Our Beloved Planet Abruptly Reversing Its Spin!"
Maybe I'm the last of the brain geeks to hear of this demonstration of a brain unto its own self, but it's indeed a new trick to me. One of our intrepid readers in Iowa writes:
"1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles with it.
"2. Now, while doing this, draw the number 6 in the air with your right hand.
"Your foot will change direction!!! And there is nothing you can do about it, even if you try it fifty times!"
I didn't try it fifty times, but I tried it several, and my right foot reversed directions every time. But not so the left foot.
Left brain/right brain aficionados (or any other kind of aficionado) are invited to submit their theories about what's happening here.
