Fact a Day #1

It is impossible to lick your elbow.

This is an urban legend and it is physically impossible. The main reason this is not possible is because your tongue is simply not long enough and any angle that you take your tongue is instantly too short to reach your elbow.
Lick your elbow
(75% of the people tried licking their elbow immediately:D)

Very few people though can do this and the Guinness World Records receives about five claims a day for achieving it. So basically a normal person is going to find it difficult to touch his/her elbow.
