Author Topic: Settle an argument; Is raising one eyebrow rare?  (Read 13727 times)

A friend of mine is arguing to me that raising a single eyebrow, albeit right or left is just as rare as the ability to whistle, and that only about 2/3 people can raise one eyebrow. I tried to tell him that raising both eyebrows individually is rare, while raising just one is a common expressive trait like smiling. So, let's take a poll. How many eyebrows can you raise?

I can't raise one eyebrow. Only both at the same time.

I can't whistle or snap my fingers either.

I can raise my left eyebrow, whistle and snap my fingers.

I can't raise one eyebrow. Only both at the same time.

I can't whistle or snap my fingers either.

i can raise one eyebrow but not without bringing the other one down

The poll has an incorrect format to the question. You will get no results from the poll because it's asking for opinions on something where every option factually occurs.

I know two guys (Plus me) who can raise one eyebrow and one who can't.




I can't move them independently. If I move one up I have to move the other one down.
