This is from Guinness World Records: "Elbow Licking. Contrary to popular urban legend, it is quite possible to lick your own elbow. Guinness World Records receives about five claims a day for this and stresses the following point: Being able to lick your own elbow is not, in any sense, a world record. If you're one of the rare few who can lick your elbow, save it for the water cooler."

Those 'facts' are mostly baloney.
Mel Blanc, for instance, wasn't allergic to carrots. The noise of Bugs Bunny munching on carrots in the cartoons really was a recording of Mel Blanc munching on a carrot - he just spat them out after munching when recording dialogue because, let's face it, who wants to eat that many carrots?

Then it would have died trying to use something designed for a right handed chicken
