Sounds like somebody has way to much time on their hands.

 

I tried to lick my elbow. It was worth a shot...
BDV

 

So did I. Very funny BTW.

 

Lol, I tried to lick my elbow as well, LOL, then I read the last message "when your done reading this E-mail your going to try and lick you elbow" I fell out of my chair laughing

 

Ditto on trying to lick my elbow...

 

1.Your forearm is as long as your foot
2.Your index finger is as long as your nose (does that mean my finger keeps growing too?)
3.Everything you have "one" of is in the center of your body
4.Everything you have two of appears the same except as a mirror image, but each contains small measurable differences.

 

I tried to lick my elbow too. But my nose isnt nearly as long as my index finger. Almost an inch shorter. Oh well

Hook your index finger from up under the nose, with your palm towards your mouth. It should fit nicely over your nose.

 

Dont know about the oak trees not producing acorns until they are fifty years old, though. We have oak trees that aren't more than 20 and they have been producing for at least 5 years. These are live oaks.

 

White oaks don't have acorns until they are 50. I tried a number of the add-on facts here- Yes, my foream is as long as my foot, and if you place the end of your index finger at the very top of your nos, and lay your finger along your nose, with your hand over your mouth, your nose is as long as your finger. Wierd stuff. I have another one, but this is a family site.

 

I think I got pretty close to the elbow lickin` there....now my head hurts, and my arm! Gr.

the size of your foot has nothing to do with the size of the.. uhh... male genitalia... but the length of your shoulder to the tip of your middle finger does.

 

Actually, I was refering to "it" in reference to hand size. From the heel of the hand, to the end on the middle finger.

 

ok, since i dont have a horse or an alligator around, i decided to try licking my elbow. my first 734 attempts were unsuccessfull, possibly due to the fact that my body is sore from snowmobiling.

i will give it a rest and attempt again in a few days.
