I can raise one eyebrow at a time, on either side, though I am much better at doing in with my left eyebrow than with my right eyebrow.

I can do something that's not on this list: turn my tongue upside-down.

Whistling is a feat?

I can do all that except for wiggling my ears.

Same as Markio. I can only raise my left eyebrow when raised one at a time, not the right side, though. Although I can't wiggle my ears, I can wiggle my nose, which is interesting to do. XD

I'd say snapping one's fingers is more of a feat than whistling; I could whistle when I was 4, but couldn't snap 'til I was...hmm...11? ...Even more ironic is that I taught my bro how to snap his fingers before I, myself, was even able to do it. I could do the motions, but no sound would come.

I can't wiggle my ears, and I can only whistle sometimes, everything else is a hunk 'o' pie.
I'm a horrible person.

The first 3. I can turn my tongue upside down too. It feels weird because if you rub it from side to side because you feel your finger on the opposite side from where you touch it!

Not only can I fold my tounge into one curl, but 2 or 3 curls also. Can anyone else here do that? (Just curious...)

Does it count as raising one eyebrow if I raise both of them and then lower one of them?

I can only do the first three.

Well, when whistling, I inhale, I cannot whistle while exhaling.

I can whistle by inhaling and exhaling, and therefore I could whistle forever if I wanted to.

Not if someone makes you laugh. Or if you want to ever eat or drink anything again. ;)
Try whistling when you're smiling or laughing; it's physically impossible, which makes you smile/laugh even more. Eheheh.

For the eyebrow thing, I raise my left one while lowering the right one; I'd say that counts, TEM.
I don't know if inhale-whistling counts, Vid...

I'd edit the pole to add snapping your fingers and flipping your tongue upside down, but I apparently can't change the maximum number of votes to allow people to select everything, so it wouldn't be fair to people who could do all seven.  I consider whistling to be a feat, but not snapping fingers, simply because I can easily snap my fingers but I've never been able to whistle.

It might have also been interesting to add "write legibly with either hand".

I'm just curious here; I'm not very familiar with the locations of the muscles on the face, so I'm not sure that this is even theoretically possible, but...can anyone out there flare one nostril at a time?
