Thanks for posting in the thread - I've never known anyone able to do something like this before (at least, not that they'd own up to!)

That is, well, strange. Just strange. I do want proof of the other family members doing it though ...

@toyfoto & laura - I soooo wanted to get all the girls doing it. I did *see* them doing it, but as soon as I pulled out the camera they all ran away!

Wow! Great picture! If we could get everyone who can do this too donate an anonymous dna sample we might be able to issolate the 'genes' and learn more about our dna coding! (just kidding) Seriously, I had no idea that anything like this was remotely possible for our species ... the picture is worth a thousand words!

Puedo hacerlo también pero no mi familia y me encanta este foto. Ahora quiero tomar una foto de mí.

I can do it also but not my family and I love this photo. Now I want to take a photo of me.

The Naked Artisan says:

I can do that too! It took a lot of practice when I was about 12. I had a friend who could ripple her tongue. I also had a friend who could vibrate her eyeballs. It was a strange time. Great to know that someone besides me knows that being able to roll up your tongue is a genetic thing. Thanks high school biology!

Here's Kate says:

So glad you are all as freaked out by this shot as I am! ;)

Funny thing is, my daughter's since discovered that she can do it too. Since this girl is her second cousin, I guess they share that particular mutation...

And all you folks who can do it too - I want proof! Post a thumbnail here of your own freaky tongue!

You know what else would be fun? If we all posted pictures of ourselves TRYING to do this. 'cause trust me, everytime I see it, I try it and I'm sure it's not pretty but worth a few laughs!
