Of course I can! Bending my knees at least 
But without bending, then no. I can't!

Nope. I'm lucky if I can get past my knees.

Oh my god. i used to be able to put my hand flat against the ground with my knees straight, no problem at all. now i can't i can still touch my toes, but just barely

I can barely even touch my ankles. 
I'm very unflexible - we actually did part of our testing in gym that involved our flexiblity today, and we had to do something called the v-sit and reach, where you sit on the floor with your feet about 12 inches apart, and you have to keep your hands together and reach as far out as you can without your knees lifting up. Most people got about 3+ or 4+ inches, but I got a -4 1/2. 
The best I ever got on it was a 0.

Yes, I can. I can also put my left leg behind my head, though I can't do the same with my right, for some reason.

I thought I was the only one that that happened to. That always bugged me for some reason.

Ha ha, I can put both my legs behind my head at the same time.
Though not with jeans on

I can put my legs behind my head seperately, but not at the same time. I freak people out when I do that. And yes, I do it with jeans on.

I can touch a little past my knees, and that's it. Annoyed my PE teacher in Year 10 when we did a test (for flexibility or just general sporting ability, I can't remember), becuse everyone else could do it and get top range except me.

Yuss, toesies touchable. I can also have 2 fingers touch the ground, but can't put my palms on them xP

I think my vote says it all - Ow. It actually did hurt, too. I fell over while trying, and hit my head on the desk. I'm so great!

Hmm. I haven't tried since I stopped dancing.
Okay, just did, and I can still get my hands flat on the floor, though I can feel it.
I can also put my legs behind my head, but only one at a time, and it's a lot harder with my left. (And depending on how my hips are feeling, I may have trouble walking afterwards, so I save it for special occasions.)

Ow ... that's me! I can touch my ankles. Once upon a time I could put my hands flat on the floor with my legs straight. Ah, youth, I remember it well.
I also remember those weird flexibility and other tests in PE. Funny thing, they did (at least in my school) flexibility testing without letting anyone warm up.
