    Is that not one of the worlds impossible things?

    You cant lick your elbow and no words rhyme with orange, factoid.

    *Waits on someone proving otherwise* :p

    That was done on QI, no words rhyming with orange, purple or silver, all disproved. Something like borange, Scottish word anyway that rhymes, from a poem i think.

    Hurple is a word, i think

    Can't remember the silver one at all

    Brainiac (The TV programme, in case you're unsure wtf I'm on about) said that no one could lick their elbow, and got bombarded with a load of pictures proving them wrong. :razz: They showed them all as well :)

    That looks like someone else's elbow.. would be a hard shot to fake with another person of similar skin tone.

    But I was sure there must be double jointed people out there that can do it and not everyone is perfectly formed anyway so there must be some people that can do it.

    My best mate at home can, if I catch her on msn at some point in the near future I'll see if I can get a photo off her, she does have a really long tongue and is generally very supple.

    i thought it was impossible for the body...

    some cruel wrong and disrespectful person asked me if i could do it so there i was for about 10 minutes with my tongue out and my elbow goin back and forth and then they told me it was a 'joke' to make people look like 'spastics' for a while..

    no offence to anyone, i think it's in poor taste, although i did laugh at the time.

    Can you not take pics single handed? We're only proposing you lick one elbow at a time! Take the picture with the other hand.

    Definitely can't, and don't see why anyone would want to.

    Elbows are rank :(
