According to Ripley's 1 in 1000 people can fold their tongue. Are you one of them?

Yes, I can fold my tongue. When I was growing up, I was the only person I knew that could do it. People used to make me do it all the time and then ask how I did it.

The guy in this video not only folds his tongue, but he can teach anyone how to clap with it. This has a great descriptive tutorial on how to fold the tongue.

I can roll my tongue, and my wife can tie a cherry stem in a knot with hers, but neither of us can fold 'em.

I can roll and fold my tongue. I can also touch the tip of my tongue to my nose. I can also bend my thumb so it is behind my hand.

I used to do this when ever my students tried to do "tricks. " It would freak them out and end the contest. What can I say, I have talents.

Now if only these talents paid. It's a talent because it is "unusual innate ability in some field or activity," which is one of the definitions of the word talent.

Yes but only once (like a taco). I know someone who can do a triple fold. It could be a talent.

Some experts say it can be learned and it is hereditary, other argue it's purely genetic. There is a definite correlation of genetic parentage and the child's ability to roll their tongue but as they do not know the exact genetic marker for this trait it's impossible to say. There are many diametric views some say it's definitely genetic others say there isn't enough evidence and that children clearly learn to roll their tongue during a specific age.

I do not personally know of anyone that was unable to roll or "fold" their tongue that tried hard and eventually learned. There were two friends growing up that I remember they tried there hardest but they never got it.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
