Silliness Try this.........

While seated at your desk/computer, lift your right leg and make clockwise circles.

Now lift your right hand and draw the number "6" in the air.

Does your right leg start turning the other way?

Why yes, it does!

Burn the witch !!

How else? One of those "emails from friend".

DGM, I would never have believed it. I tried this a few times to make my leg keep going clockwise, but every time it went the other way when I drew a 6.

So then I thought I'd see what would happen if I made my right leg go anti-clockwise and draw a 9 with my right hand......this reversed the leg spinning also, into a clockwise rotation.

Amazing! I wonder what other tricks there are like this.

Be careful.

You too may be labeled "a witch!" and burned........

Oh yes - I can make room for two on the pyre

It depends on how you write the number 6. I believe most people are taught to start from the top and go counter/anti-clockwise, but if you start from the inside of the curlicue, you can write the character clockwise. That's probably cheating for the purposes of this exercise.

Oh I have shape-shifted again from doing all those sixes with my leg!

Personally I'm very suspicious of DGma attempts to get us to write the number "6". Most people will try this several times. I'm sure that writing that number three times will call up something rather nasty....

An upside down policeman?

GraceKrispy · 02-13-2010, 06:41 PM

Now Iʻm a little paranoid.... doesnʻt happen to me! I actually tried it 3 times (yipes! was that your true intention?? to have me write that 6 3 times??) and it didnʻt change a darn thing on my twirlinʻ. Does that mean I have a major disconnect?? Is *this* why I couldnʻt feel the contractions that the pitocin gave me with kid #1??

Well, der. By doing it that way, you are going clockwise as well. Apparently, our minds can't process clock wise and counter clockwise at the same time.....
