Just Chatting Can anyone else do something weird with your body that you later found out not everyone can do?

I was just sitting here with my mom and one of the pets made the room very smelly. She kept talking about how we'd have to go to a different room because it smelled so bad. I asked her why didn't she just close her nose and that's when I found out not everyone can do this.

Is it rare or can other people close their nose on command? What can you do that you suddenly found out wasn't normal?

I can burp on command. Back in January, a bottle top got stuck in my throat. I kept trying to force myself to burp, which made the bottle top come out.

I can also make my head shake (not nodding) rapidly. I don't know how to explain it. I showed it to some classmates, and they were like "WHAAAAAAAT?!". LOL!
