"There wasn't room really to go down with your arms cause the table was very tight to the seating bench," Emma says. So instead, she slipped off her shoes and started picking up the crayons — with her feet. "Judging from people's reactions, this was not normal behavior," says Tommy."Had a few looks from people who seemed to think we were doing something very odd."Aurélie Marrier d'UnienvillePhotographer Tommy Trenchard, a regular contributor to this blog, picks up a lens cap with his toes.Tommy is also especially versatile with his feet.

Segal says there's one category of siblings that share oodles of these"useless faculties" — identical twins. Sharon Poset and Debbie Mehlman are identical twins who were separated when they were adopted by different families at birth. They reunited when they were in their 40s and discovered they had many quirks in common. Although they don't look exactly alike and have different hairstyles, they were genetically tested to confirm that they are indeed identical twins.For years, Mehlman felt the same way. She wanted someone her age to go on vacation with and have sleepovers with.
Sharon Poset and Debbie Mehlman are identical twins who were adopted by different families at birth. When they reunited in their mid-40s, they discovered they share a lot of similar quirks.
