You cannot do two things at once

[andrewducker]

While sitting at your desk make clockwise circles with your right foot.

While doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand.

Your foot will change direction.

...how many people, on reading this, promptly tried to do it?

For the record: I didn't, but I was conscious of an impulse to do so.

Course I tried to do it. Andrew implied he knew more about my foot than I did, and I had to see if he was right.

heh

I did. And not only that, my foot changed direction before I even started to draw the "six", right when I decided to do it.
