Fun With Your Nervous System

Apologies if you have seen this one, but I found it amusing:

1. Sitting where you are, at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand.

Your foot will change direction.

Bonus points: how frustrated can you make yourself trying to make your foot not change direction?

I hate you. I really, really hate you. I will be doing this all night now. Thanks.

But I have to say, I'm much amused watching Jason try to do this!

Of note: Jason is left handed and this only "works" when he's using his left leg and hand. He can beat the system with his right!
