Is anyone else double-jointed?

[Perfect Cell]

(Apologies if there's been a thread like this before)
Also known as hypermobile, if you prefer the more correct term.

Hypermobile people basically have the ability to move their joints in unusually flexible ways, which includes(but not limited to) pulling their fingers back all the way to the back of their hand, putting their leg over their head, able to do exceptionally well at Sit-And-Reach(my record is +28) and many more things.

I'm hypermobile and here are a few pictures as proof.

Yeah, ironically enough, I cannot do the Spock "V" sign at all.

So uh, is anyone else able to do these things? Maybe just enough to freak people out? Be sure to post pictures!

EDIT:And for the non-hypermobile people, you can comment if you know anyone who is hypermobile, or just stare in shock.

One of my thumbs are for some reason (right), oddly I remember vaguely that it wasn't always like that though. Used to be normal.

also your pics are disgusting eww

If it wasn't for the fact that I had to hold the camera with my other hand, you'd see the full extent of my hypermobility.

Unfortunately, nobody else will hold the camera without dropping it in fear.

i can do that thing where the very end of my fingers goes at a right angle to the rest of the finger, and i can also bend my fingers back to nearly touch the back of my hand (but thats cos ive spent most of my last clicking my knuckles, not cos im double-jointed)

No.

 

[UltiMario]

I can do that first thing with bending the tips of your fingers

Nothing else, though

 

[Hulavuta]

Same here UltiMario. I can also pop my thumb out a bit.

 

[dwarfstar]

My fingers are hypermobile, but that's it. It's fun to freak people out by suddenly displaying it.

 

[Oopa]

my thumbs are- i can like pop the base of the thumb out so you see an L (on the right hand)
and unlike most people i know, my thumb doesn't curve back, it's always straight as an |

is there any use beyond being a party trick?

Eh, can have an odd game of mercy that you're certain to win.

EDIT:I guess being able to out-flexible literally everyone else is another thing.

 

[Zebstrika]

Hold out your arm, with your hand palm up straight at the end of it. I can then bend my thumb right around, on the same plane as my hand and arm, to touch my wrist (while keeping my hand straight out, not bending my wrist down) Hard to explain without a pic, which I don't think I have around.

I also have a clover tongue, which is not double "jointed" but still kinda freaky for people who can't do it.

this is the worst use of the serious tag of all time
