Thanks to Mr. Spock, I sure can! As a child, I taught myself to raise an eyebrow over each eye, and to make the Vulcan greeting with both hands, just in case... for some reason, I don't know, kid logic, you know? Anyway, yes, I can raise my eyebrows independently of one another.

I was going to post a picture, but then, that's still not quite evidence, since it's a still photo. So I posted a video.

Yes. Though just the left one for some odd reason.
However, this discussion reminds me of a guy I knew in grade school who swore up and down he could move his ears, and then proceeded to contort his entire face. I think his ears moved... eventually.

I love it! J., I can't watch the video yet but I will soon. Did you do that just now for the thread?
Kay John was just as strangely weird and cute as he always is.
I also had a suspicion roshi would turn up and scare everyone. It's sort of a board constant. Like if someone starts a thread saying "can you invert your [insert body part of choice]", he'll turn up with some picture that makes you want to move to Orkney.
This is why I love both of them.

I can raise them, one at a time.

Ooh! I can move my ears, too!
Yes, just for this thread (it's currently unlisted on Youtube).
I can raise just one eyebrow by itself, and it's my left one. I can't lift the right eyebrow without both popping up at the same time. I've tried...a lot. I just can't do it.
I can also do the Vulcan hand sign with both of my hands for whatever that's worth.

Nope -but once I bought a small mirror to practice it with while watching TV 
Ah! so that's why you hide half your face!
Ah, sure...we don't do that here. I use my face constantly.

I can raise my left eyebrow easily. I can sometimes raise my right, but not as well, and only until I start thinking about it (after which it's almost impossible.)
That I can do - rolled into a tube, folded back upon itself, or fluted.
I've never been any good at an Italian rolled R. Just can't do it.I'm Italian. I can't not do it.Rolling the Rs, however, is something I can never do.

Frau Blucher did not say this. She is Scottish and is therefore genetically programmed to roll every 'r' in sight.

However I thought ZR, who was the true author, was Scottish too.
