There isn't really any such thing as so-called double-jointness. It's called contortion. It also doesn't mean that I have extra joints. It's just that they are a lot more flexible than ordinary. And yes, just about anyone could do it if they wanted to. So if you can't do it, it's your own fault. :)
Double-jointedness
Yes, I am double-jointed. Actually, being double-jointed doesn't mean
that I have extra joints. It's just that they are a lot more flexible
than ordinary. I'm mostly double-jointed in my fingers. Below is a list
of some of the things I can do:
- Bend my fingers 90 degrees back. Pic of me doing it.
- Bend my left thumb so that it is parallel with itself. Pic of me doing it.
- Bend my left thumb so that it lies flat on the top of my arm.

- Put my palms together and make 2 sides of a 90 degree triangle with
my fingers. Pic of me doing it.
- Twist my hand 540 degrees. 360 degrees without help.
- Wrap my right arm around the back of my head and touch my right ear.

- Put both arms behind my head, making three sides of a rectangle. Kinda.
Pic of me doing it. Somewhat.
- Reach any part of my back. I can scratch any itch. :) Pic of me doing it.
- Lock the last three fingers on my left hand and the last four fingers
on my right hand. I can then move them without bending them.
- Move the fingers on my right hand and have the one by the pinky lock
up by itself.
- Snap my fingers by moving a finger real quickly over my bent thumb.
- Pop my thumbs by moving them back and forth (180 degrees at the joint).
- Place my palm flat on a surface and still tap my fingers.
- Pull my fingers and thumb back so that the ligaments on the back of
my hand stand out.
- Bend my toes so that they look like ___/--- (fingers too)
- Bend the tips of my fingers without moving the rest.
- Make my head vibrate. (I know, I know, it's not double-jointed)
