And now for something completely different...

If you cross your index and middle fingers (as if crossing your fingers for luck), and then touch your nose (move your fingers up and down the bridge of your nose, making sure that both are in contact with your nose), how many noses do you feel you have?

(The reason I'm curious in this Nature article... *g*)

that's interesting - I can only properly cross my fingers one way (middle over index) so I didn't occur to me to experiment. Are you a concert pianist, on the quiet?

Heee - I struggled to do that too! Mind you, I also struggled to touch my nose with both the fingers I had crossed... *headdesk*

Only 'Chopsticks' *g*

Can you not cross them that way? I have to cross them by using the other hand for my right hand, but my left will easily cross in both directions... and now you're getting funny looks too *hg*

now you're getting funny looks too only from the cat, but that's normal
