How Smart Is Your Right Foot?  
This is pretty wild.  And you will keep trying it to see if you can outsmart your foot. 
But you can't!!
1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles with it.
2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction!!! 
I told you so... And there's not a darn thing you can do about it. (smile)
