 Posted: Tue Nov 17, 2009 6:12 pm Post subject: What things can you do with your body |
 |
|
Was talking to a girl at work today and she mentioned that through various sporting injuries ( she's quite into her sports ) and various car accidents she'd been in all of her joints now crack, bend in funny ways etc.
This means she can dislocate the majority of her joints, make a lot of them click and crack on demand which she showed me.
I asked her if she had considered becoming a one man band ( you know those people you see walking around with a drum on their back and they move their legs in a certain way etc ) except without the instruments but she just laughed at me ( nothing new there )
My party tricks are less impressive, but I can dislocate my shoulders and get my legs behind my head.
What can you do ?

I am double jointed in my hands. And with all the dings I have put this body through over the years, I choose not to experiment with dislocating stuff on it.

Why would you want to do that? 
About all I can do is raise my shoulders like a heavy duty shrug and it pops two or three vertebrae in my upper spine. Beyond that - eat sleep and fart.

When people say they are 'double jointed', what exactly do they mean?

The joint can move further than what it is supposed to.
For example :-
I am double jointed in my shoulders, this allows my arms to move in ways that would seem wrong.
I have been asked if I had a 'fake arm' once when I was showing off to other people.

My index finger click/cracks when I bend it.
Both of my wrists click/crack.
Ankles click/crack.
Shoulders click/crack.
I can pop my jaw in and out, clicks also.
Once when I was crossing the road (when I was a wee lassie) my ankle got stuck and I couldn't walk until I clicked it. So I went to the doctors and he said and I quote "You'll grow out of it!" Hmmm seems to have got worse....
OOO I also forgot I can turn my tongue completely up the wrong way. So the veiny side is on the top.

This is absolutely no good without pix. I can't find my emote that says all that in a grumpy funny way.

Yes, he meant you will grow out of your ankles. I hear it's quite a painful process.
