Yes and No for me. I'm not going to attempt the elbow thing as I'm not double jointed.

I could do them too! We're all weird here at siliconhell

Didn't try to lick my elbow. Thought I'd rise above your challange. Didn't want to look stupid at work.......Also I've tried it before

Any connection between your reality and mine is completly coincidental

I can do them because I start my left or right doing it then forget about it and start the other thing.

So can you lick your elbow?

Here's two more:

(while sitting): close your eyes. Stick your arms straight out in front of you (like a sleepwalker). Raise your right arm up to almost straight overhead, lower your left arm until it almost touches your lap. KEEPING YOUR EYES CLOSED, bring your arms back to the same level. Open your eyes: how close did you get to level? (For lots of people, their prioperception is such that the arms FEEL level but are inches off.) people in offices everywhere are now looking like the living dead

While standing, fold your arms. Notice which is on top, left or right. Now refold them, with the opposite arm on top.
I can do this one but - Awkward, eh?

And no I can not lick my elbow or touch my nose with my tongue
