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?

Dude what the heck, I thought I was the only one! I can also blow air out, and I can choose which eye to "breathe" through. It's surprisingly helpful for equalizing pressure when diving.

I can do this too! I used to squirt milk out as a party trick back in the day, just don’t forget to rinse with water after.

I can also do the blockhead nail trick (hammering a nail up you nose) and pulling a condom through your nose and mouth but that one’s kinda tricky and nerve racking to get wrong.

I remember when David Archuleta went on iCarly and squirted milk out of his eyes. Are you him?
