This is serious stuff. Really hard-wired into the brain. You can beat it . . . can't you?


Lift your right foot. Cause it to describe circles in a clockwise direction. Now try to draw the number 6 in the air with your right hand. Just see what happens to your foot.

Very clever, but it can be overcome (3rd go) if you concentrate on the foot movement and move the hand slowly.

I didn't have any problem? Am I not wired correctly? :confused:

'Fraid not, mate - it's back to the factory for you!

It seems one is not normally able to do this. If you can, I suggest enrolling as a test subject, so that a lot of keen young psychologists can wire you to a specially modified Thronomeister machine.

It seems one is not normally able to do this.

It is very easy to do this. Simply draw the 6 clockwise, starting at the middle and ending at the top.

Spot on.

Should this be be one of the deciding tests for the award of an ATPL?

Can't control your foot, Herr Vlugmeister, your ratings count for nought then.

Please hand me your epaulettes!

Miss Carruthers please hand me the scissors... Thank you.

SNIP!

There it is done... we can't have the uncoordinated lurching around our airways..."

Can also be done if you move your foot slowly and hand fast. Seems to be a problem only if you move both hand and foot at similar speeds.

WHY the F*ck would you WANT to do that in the first place?

I had a mate that could ride a bike whilst sitting on the handlebars
looking backwards. Nature won in the end and he finished up breaking something when he DID eventually fall off.

The knowledge that this human problem exists could aid cockpit design.
Can't immediately think of an aircraft issue, but I remember my dad's old Austin had a foot operated main beam dip. The counterclockwise foot motion required to operate it might have interfered with a clockwise motion of the hand for steering = possible accident at night/in fog.

Gets you thrown off the bus, that does.

Oh God, now I'm worried.

Am I still alive?

Perhaps you are like a stegosaurus with a second brain in your arse.

There are certainly enough people with their only brain in their arse.

My slipper fell off - is this significant?

Apparently, we have another 'brain' in our stomachs:-

Local consensus has it there's a 3rd one, somewhere further down that way...

Please hand me your epaulettes!

Ah. So that's why pilots have epaulettes on their shirts, so they can stiill fly an aircraft with their coats off!

Am I still alive?

Probably, but you may have a wooden leg. Does it hurt when you stick a pin it?

i was once accused, by an ex girlfriend, of having my brain midway between my elbows and knees........:O ( well, she did have big t...)

Toes? What did you like about that?




I hate when a reposte gets shoved over the page. I also hate when edit things happen.
