Good thing it was easy for me to do.

hmmm right leg no problem. Left leg, I wobble and can’t seem to maintain it for the full 10 seconds. Maybe I need to try it after I’ve been standing up for a while.

Do you get to wear a sneaker with an arch support while taking the test? Asking for a friend.

No bull, Sherlock? The inner-ear and the canals in the inner-ear associated with balance deteriorate with age.
When is the ‘study’ for gas on the stomach going to happen?
More importantly, why cannot I get in on some of these money deals to line my pockets?

Does this qualify as some new Kuma Sutra position? Especially if I find it’s harder...

The older you get the more likely it is for you to die whether you can stand on one leg or on your head.

Full title of the study: "Ability To Talk A Million Suckers Into Standing On One Leg".
I can certainly do it. Of course, it's somebody else's leg.

You are approach four times more likely to die in the next ten years ... ...if you have not died in the previous ten years.

Well, it could also mean you do things to become more healthy, such that you can balance on one leg…

I am known in various places as “The Tripod.”
I have been standing on my middle leg for minutes at a time all through my adolescent years up to now. My various girl friends loved it.
By the thread articles logic, I will be living for hundreds of years.

Can we can a summary report tomorrow for the number of Freepers injured from falling over while attempting to stand on one leg?
(Just sayin' ... a bunch of us have been here for over 20 years, so we're getting to that middle business...)

I gave myself 20 seconds because I stood on two legs.
Piece of cake.
Then I had a piece of cake.
