Uncle John has seen major jocks be humiliated by this trick at parties, but girls love it. Give it a try—we dare you.
YOU’LL NEED:
1. A girl
2. A boy
3. A wall
4. A straight-back chair
WHAT YOU DO:
1. Take your shoes off.
2. Girl goes first. Start with your toes touching the wall and step back two exact toe-to-heel foot-lengths away.
3. Put the chair on the floor between you and the wall.
4. Without moving your feet, bend over and place your forehead against the wall.
5. Grasp the chair and raise it to your chest.
6. Now, try to stand up while holding the chair.
EXPECTED RESULT:
Girls should have no problem doing this; but boys usually can’t do it. Why? Generally, a boy’s feet are longer, which keeps him too far from the wall. His center of gravity is closer to the wall than his toes, so it’s nearly impossible for him to straighten up. Note: If your feet are so small that you can’t fit a chair in two foot-lengths, sorry—it won’t work. (Try again next year.)
Asia is the biggest continent in the world. You could fit almost six Australias in it.
