Can you wiggle your scalp?

Question:

I've always been able to flex my scalp and move it back and forth and have known some other people that could (but not as fast or far as I can). Is there a name/cause for this? And is it weird that it makes me really dizzy if I do it for more than a few seconds?

Dear MoShaw:I don't know about a name for this trait/quirk, but I do know that I can wiggle my ears as well as the scalp thing.My Mom does the scalp wiggle involuntarily when she's talking on the phone puzzling something out...she's not even aware she does it.A lot of people have tics and involuntary movement they aren't aware of.I was told by a boyfriend that my nose wiggles when I talk as well.He said I reminded him of Tabitha on "Bewitched"(a referrence way before your time, I'm sure)Any way, just realize that your scalp wiggle makes you unique and just let it be...an ear wiggle in greeting to you!

I can do it to. It is common among the inbred. Keep the faith cuz

I can do that, but it's never made me dizzy. I don't know that there is a name, but I'm sure it's one of those muscle control things...like people who can wiggle their ears or raise up one eyebrow at a time (I can only do one side, it's weird).

well no hahaha and i dont plan on it !kinda wierd
