Silly - but thought provoking.

seen in a forward:

How Smart is Your Right Foot?
Careful! This is so funny that it may boggle your mind. And if you are
anywhere near as stubborn as we are, you will keep trying at least a few
more times 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.
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 nothing you can do about it!
Go ahead KEEP TRYING ALL YOU WANT!



Anyone know why this works? You can clearly move the two appendages independently. Why does rotation change that mix?

Anyone know other such quirks?

It only works if you write a 6 from top to bottom (that is, moving your hand in a counter-clockwise direction).
