The Belly Button Challenge Challenges Common Sense! — Dave’s Diary

Ice Bucket, Jenner Lips, Yes/No Ouija board and so it goes -- another week and it’s another Internet challenge. This one has taken China by storm, 130 million tries and growing,  and is referred to as "the belly button challenge."Thousands of people have already posted selfies of themselves completing the challenge, which involves reaching one hand behind the back and reaching around the front to touch one's bellybutton.

I’ll wait while you try it!

And you're back. How did it go?  Me neither --not even close.

The challenge states that if you can reach your bellybutton you're in good shape, but if you can't, you need to lose weight. Are you kidding me? I have long arms and even when I was skinny I doubt I could have done this — what about you? I think it just means most of China should break out the china and serve up a meal!

Some claim this is a scientific fact, which of course it isn't. Experts say if you can complete the challenge it doesn't necessarily mean you have a super-fit body, just that you have long arms or are very flexible. Or have way too much time, if not on your belly button, on your hands! (Daily Mail)
