This is a question Unusual talents

B3tans! Can you hum with your tongue? (Your Ginger Fuhrer can and he once demonstrated this to a producer on Blockbusters on the hope of getting on TV) Maybe you can bend your thumb in a really horrid way that makes it look broken. (Your Ginger Fuhrer's other special talent) What can you do? Extra points if you fancy demonstrating this with the odd pic or youtube vid.

I can roll my tongue into a tube.
Apparently not everyone can.


I can also turn it upside down. Particularly weird when I run my finger from side to side. The brain tells me the finger goes left to right, the tongue tells me it goes right to left.

This was the example
my biology teacher used to teach us about genes and alleles. He got all of us to stick our tongue out and try to roll it.

As for me, I have about half of your talent: I can roll it, but not turn it upside-down. Have you seen that YouTube video of the girl who can make her tongue ripple in waves and other acrobatic contortions?

Edit, I don't look half as good doing it though;Q

only I heard recently
probably on QI
that tongue rolling is not genetic.

I seem to remember that this combination makes you a double freak or something.
perhaps a freak squared?
very small intersection between the two sets.

Just tried the upside down side to side thing. Brilliant.

To Freak People Out
Roll your tongue left inside your mouth, stick it out, roll it 180' to normal, then roll it 180' right - To onlookers, it looks as if you've just rolled your tongue all the way around - Always fun! :D

And I've just noticed that side to side thing - Weird! :D
