I  can lick my elbows but it hurts.

Combination of a very long tongue  and a semi bad shoulder.  

I can't quite touch the tip but gimme a minute.

RUNS off to prove the factoid wrong.

I am sorely tempted to look up all these on Snopes to reduce the amount of Stupid on the Internet. There are a few true and neat ones in there, yeah... but generally there's enough genuine weirdness without having to make any up.

Dah well. We got 14+ people to try to lick their elbows, and that's good enough for me.

I've heard the honey claim before, and I'll always call bull. Unless, that is, you don't count a jar of honey turning all brown and developing huge chunks after sitting in a pantry for a few years as "going bad."

All that's happened there is that the sugars have crystalised out. Warm it up and stir and they'll all go back into solution again eventually.

[Col. Fishguts]

Yeah, that's crystallisation, makes it easier to keep the honey on the bread.

But I've seen stuff grow on top of honey in jars, some sort of fungus probably.

I love Snopes. Virtually all the 'stories' I get by email are on there in some form. I wonder who makes up urban myths, anyway...

[Carl]

The city, I would assume.

That may be technically true, but that didn't stop me from instantly throwing said jar of honey in the trash.

[Sesquipedalian]

I have trick shoulders.  I can pop them partially out of my sockets at will.  It also allows me to wrap my arm all the way around my head and  hold the earlobe on the same side as the arm.  When I was little and skinny I could wiggle my finger into the shoulder socket most of the way to the first knuckle (doesn't work as well now, since I started growing muscle mass as a teenager).

Pictures may or may not be posted.

[color=66ff00]Your real aim should be to see how many girls you can get that will try to touch both elbows together behind their backs.

Tell them it's impossible and watch as they try to prove you wrong.

You're terrible.

Thankyou, I've worked very hard to become so.

I said "terrible", not "dread".
