I have a stork bite birthmark on the back of my neck and a strawberry birthmark on my mons.

Even though I am 32, I still have one baby tooth in my mouth and only recently started to cut the adult tooth that is quite late coming in.

I broke the ischium ring off of my pelvis (the loop at the bottom that you sit on) when I was 17 and got t-boned by a '79 Beemer. It's the only bone I ever broke, but it was a doozy.

I can't sleep with my own bedroom door closed. It completely freaks me out. It's still hard when it's not my own bedroom.

I brush my teeth in the shower. I figure water is already running, why get out and go to the sink?

I was supposed to be a boy. My parents were convinced of this. My name was Paul Karl and I had blue everything in my room. Then I was born and my parents were confused.

I often imagine that I am in a kung fu movie when I walk down the street, picturing attacks by random passers-by and the elaborate fighting scenes that would ensue.

I used to be really scared of spiders more that anything else in the world until, one day, I thought about how centipedes and millipedes have WAY too many legs. Just thinking about them FREAKS. ME. OUT.

I do that too! Another one I do sometimes when I'm the passenger in a car (and bored) is imagine myself running at super speed along side the car trying to keep up and dodge all the obstacles.

I was (am? the doc said I was the youngest he'd seen) one of the youngest people to get a gold crown (on my tooth, not royalty) when I was 7 or 8.

I'd forgot about that. I do something similar, sortof. I like to imagine that I'm walking down the street or driving the car explaining our modern society and it's inventions to a historical figure or to Sherlock Holmes.

I was deaf in my right ear for about 24 years until several months ago I had a stapedectomy performed on my inner right ear and now I can partially hear sounds, speech and various other tones.

I won a 2006 Chevy Silverado Regular Cab Truck a year ago when I visited a GM car dealership and pressed the onstar button during the GM OnStar Hot Button contest and received a "Congrats, you won a new car!"

If you're curious what the trick is, it's pretty simple. You take the two digit number, add the digits together, and stick it in between. In this case...

11*73=?
7+3 = 10 so you carry the 1 and get 803

Here's an example without carrying
11*23 = 253

Now everyone can do it!

Is that really any faster than adding a 0 (multiplying by 10), and adding the two digit number?
11*73=?
730 + 73 = 803

or

11*23=?
230 + 23 = 253

Don't look at me. I'm mathematically illiterate. That's just the way that I was taught.

Didn't really see that one coming, did you?

Glad I'm entertaining someone.
Oh, and we actually do have some Waterford Crystal, but I only get to use it on the holidays.

I would say that it's faster the way I described, although I don't have proof. The way you described requires two separate operations: multiplication and addition. The method I described is simply addition, which is what makes it a shortcut. Back when I first learned this trick in school, we went around doing flashcards, and I was able to calculate the answer in less than a second. I don't think I'd be able to do it that faster using your way, but that might just because I'm used to the other way of thinking.

My mother was 14 when she gave birth to me. She gave me up for adoption, which I think was a very wise move on her part.

I have been on 145 different roller coasters in the United States without incident, yet spinning rides (like Disneyland's teacups) make me hurl.

1) I was once a petty thief.
2) I have a scar on my right cheek. The story about it goes: In 1987, I was at a YMCA children's summer camp. I went with my group to a petting farm. I fell on a sharp stick. The stick went clean through my cheek. I was rushed to the hospital and had several dozen stitches. I still remember the events pretty well, but usually have to look at a mirror to remember which cheek the scar's on.

I had both large toenails completely removed to fix a severe ingrown toenail problem. They've grown back but the procedure has left me with 3 distinct toenails on each big toe: the main one and a smaller one growing perpendicular on either side of each toenail.

When I was about 4 or 5 years old, I peed down the heating vents in my bedroom floor. When winter came and the heater was turned on, I remember my parents complaining about the awful smell coming from the vents. I never told them what I did.
