Came across this while tracking down a friend for Cheryl:
1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor
and make clockwise circles.
2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your
right hand.
Your foot will change direction and there's nothing you can do about
it.
Note, you must draw the six (or just a circle) in the counterclockwise direction (i.e., from the top of the six, not the bottom). Some people claim their feet don't change direction. I believe some of them are just drawing the six wrong.
This has been around the blogosphere for a while (see these Feedster hits). I tracked it back to "Foot fetish" at My Weblog (dated August 1, 2003), but the web site seems to no longer exist.
Don't know why this intrigues me. I suppose because I've been thinking so much about cycles, spirals, chirality, and vortices so much lately.
