    That was...lol. I've always known humans can't walk in a straight line, but I've always thought it had something to do with which side of your brain is dominant, but that conclusion has not been satisfactory enough, I guess. Apparently, the majority of animals can walk in a straight line. pwnd.

    Great animation.

    We seriously can't walk in a straight line? What about when doing Parkour - I've walked along many straight walls in my lifetime.

    It's more about walking in straight lines over longer distance with no visual cues. But then sometimes when I'm walking along the sidewalk, I find myself zigzagging all over the place :o

    Ever tried walking in a straight line at night when texting on your phone? Me and my friend were walking down the street one time and he walked straight into a van :facepalm:

    In grade 3, the class was walking somewhere and it was a straight sidewalk, but I covered my face with my jacket (I guess to impress the cute girl :o), so while I thought I would be walking straight with nothing to bump into, I had veered off to the side and bumped into a pole. The entire class could hear the pole resonate and everybody lol'd at my expense :p

    Perhaps it's because everybody has a dominant leg? Therefore we have stronger and longer footsteps in one leg in comparison to the other

    you think that's hard, try running with your eyes closed, and you'd start to get anxiety attacks

    So, do blind people always walk in circles? Because that could make for some interesting afternoons by the roadside.

    Then I wonder if people who are truly ambidextrous can walk straighter?
