Summary

[edit]
Description

The ability to roll your tongue up into a "U" shape like this is genetically inherited, according to my daughter's encyclopedia of the human body. If you can't do it, blame your parents!

Apparently this is some controversy about this, see: udel.edu/~mcdonald/mythtongueroll.html

However, there appears to be at least some genetic component to the ability. :)
