701.17a To tap a permanent, turn it sideways from an upright position. Only untapped permanents can be tapped.
I'm fairly certain silasw is correct.
That rule is just there to prevent stuff that triggers on something becoming tapped from triggering again if an effect tells you to tap an already tapped permanent.
Arguments and stuff.
Okay? If the link is supposed to put me on that post by jeff, well...it says the same thing I (tried to) said.

 I am Black/Green Take The Magic Dual Colour Test - Beta today! Created with Rum and Monkey's Personality Test Generator.I am both selfish and instinctive. I value growth and community, as long as they favour my own objectives; I enjoy nature, and I particularly enjoy watching parts of nature die. At best, I am resilient and tenacious; at worst, I'm uncontrollable and destructive.
Oh, but wait, there were multiple answers that fit my thoughts to some questions. What colors did they say I was?
 I am Blue/Green
I am both rational and instinctive. I value self-knowledge and understanding of the world; my ultimate goal is self-improvement and improvement of the world around me. At best, I am focused and methodical; at worst, I am obsessive and amoral. Some RPG Personality Test I saw

Another method WotC uses to ensure this, which the Anatomist is an example of, is "you may" clauses, mainly on things that can be used either to tap or to untap. Without the "you may" in its current wording, Twiddle would just toggle the tapped/untapped status of the target, regardless of its controller's wishes, which is somewhat counter-intuitive.
I assume the rules haven't changed since the statement.

I wasn't able to connect to the internet for a while, but I just added a little bit of explanatory text to my submission without changing the card itself. I hope that's okay.

This definitely doesn't mean what you think it means.
I was referring to the painting The Treachery of Images.
I know.

not that it's a very good name, but with my cards you basically have to take what you can get

I'm retarded and deleted the wrong post. I'm sure you have a screenshot of my entry, but I'm putting it back up for reference. (And I promise to stop trying to edit on my phone) Blood Converter Artifact Creature - Construct ~ enters the battlefield with X +1/+1 counters on it, where X equals half the amount of life you lost this turn, rounded down. 0/0

silasw is right that that wording would work but it is fairly unclear and thus not worth the space-saving. many people are not aware of the interaction between non-optional twiddling and the "you can't choose an impossible option" rule.
120.6. Some effects replace card draws.
