Consensus so far appears to be "no". Perhaps this is another thing to add to my Weird List, along with all my extra bones, slightly squiffy spine etc. Lovely
Potentially weird question for fellow hypermobile folks: can you move your trachea around? Because I can and it really freaks my mum out
Krista Shure, 44, who eyewitnesses claim has the flexibility of a newborn infant, told reporters she has “no idea” why people keep asking if she’s OK or if she needs a comfier seat – or medical assistance.

We've got a new postman who doesn't understand knocking on doors.
He stands out in the hallway rustling packages and after a while he says in a tiny voice "... Is there anyone there?", it's causing problems and is a bit spooky 4/10

One of my exes took me to Fabric in London and after a couple of hours I put my slippers on and sat on the stairs 👍
Ima Onwugbenu, 22, who likes peace, quiet and solitude, has reportedly inexplicably convinced herself that on this occasion, she will enjoy cramming herself into a sticky box full of sweaty humans and thumping music, to which she will move her body in an approximation of human dancing.
Optimist! Maybe autistic woman will enjoy clubbing this time
An autistic woman who has never once enjoyed any form of noisy, crowded nightlife sincerely believes - for some reason - that she might like it this time, it has been rumoured. Ima Onwugbenu, 22,…

Pleased to say I used this cunning ploy to avoid swimming at secondary school for the entire 5 years I was there 😌🙏
Onwugbenu reportedly pretended that she was going to be on her period for the rest of the week, the following weekend and the entirety of December.
