What is something that you could never learn to do?


Tightrope walk from the top of the Eiffel Tower to the summit of Mont Blanc.
The height wouldn't bother me, it's just that no-one has a rope 480 killometers long. 😊
 
why would you even want to ?
It's something we had to learn in grammar school, just in case we were called on to do it sometime in our life.
Sentence diagrams helped me write better. Didn't improve my speech a whole lot (in terms of grammar), but I could write a better story. Also, it shows you how verbs and adverbs influence nouns, and also what the heck a past participle is. Of course, now you can just google it, if you even want to know.
 
I couldn't go deep into caves, not with lots of really tight spaces. I've seen videos of people doing this, and to get through some of the spaces they have breath out, hold their stomach in, and twist their head in a very specific way, and they can only move half inch at a time by flexing their feet. Their arms are pinned to their sides. It's madness.

I didn't know I was claustrophobic until I had to get an MRI of my spine due to an injury. There are more modern machines now that are open, but the one I went in was a long tube, and I had to be totally inside it. The ceiling of the tube was, perhaps, three inches from the end of my nose. I couldn't move my arms, and I wasn't supposed to anyway. I nearly lost my mind. I'd of screamed and somehow gotten out, but due to injury I'd lost movement in legs (which thankfully was eventually put right.) For all the pain of that injury, it's that damn MRI machine that still gives me nightmares.
