I can make clicking/popping sounds with my toes.
I can wiggle my ears and do the vulcan peace sign.
I can crack many joints in my body.
I can sit in "inverse lotus" position, where my legs would fold out away from my body, rather than towards it. Try it, its harder than it sounds :D

I am also very easily amused. It takes surprizingly little to get me cracking up and completely incapacitated with hysterical giggling.

You're putting all of that in your mouth. Gross.


But the metal is anti-bacterial. It's MUCH cleaner than a bill.


I know pi to 32 decimal places
Can blow bubbles off my tongue
Can fold my tongue in half while sticking it out
Can burp extremely loud and long

That's all I feel like coming up with for now/

Nisses 08-05-2004 01:49 AM

English, German, Dutch, French
Can count in spanish, greek, latin

Can pick up stuff with my toes without any problem
can put my big toe over the next one without moving it, by hand;can put my little toe over the next one without moving it by hand
can close both my pinkies while the other fingers stay completely open.

Can flare my nostrils
Can juggle


now as for combining this to get rich...

stephthegeek 08-05-2004 05:02 AM

I can count in the back of my mind over long periods of time, read really really fast, and plug my nose with my upper lip (handy for swimming!). Go me!

I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Could you explain further?

maleficent 08-05-2004 05:32 AM

It's nothing complicated, just tracing the shapes of the aforementioned items in the air. Tis quite a feat of coordination.

orphen 08-05-2004 08:35 PM

"i can recite all 50 states in a quarter of a second... *makes a shouting noise* " -peter griffin

I can move my ears.. i guess that's pretty common huh?

NoSoup 08-06-2004 09:18 AM

Reading through this thread, I suppose I have a few others that I hadn't thought of...

I can Juggle and I can Stand on my Head :D

la petite moi 08-06-2004 10:13 AM

I can type 70+ WPM.
I can curl my tongue into a taco and a W.
I can read a 700+ page book in less than a day.
I can listen to the same song three times a day, everyday, for two years.
I can listen to the same song, backwards, for several hours at a time.
I learned the French alphabet in less than an hour.
I can whistle through my teeth, as well as the typical way.
I have had anal sex without lube in a car- that's a talent, isn't it? :D

jdubz 08-06-2004 04:15 PM

I'm double jointed so, I can get into tight places :browes:

cdnjeepin 08-06-2004 04:28 PM

can wiggle both or one ear
flare my nostrils
do the billy idol thing with the lip and eyebrow
oh and my ankles crack at will

jdubz 08-06-2004 04:32 PM

I knew a guy onces that didnt have cartlage in his outer ear, so, he could stuff the entire outer ear in his ear canal in his head.......


How bout that shit?

majik_6 08-06-2004 05:37 PM

Wow, this thread has kept me laughing the whole way!

I:

can breath fire

am quite proficient at stage magic

can play (to varying degrees of proficiency) 7-8 musical instruments

am semi-conversational in French

can bullshit in languages which I have very little knowledge of

can recite most names/lyrics/albums for any top 40 country song in the last 1-3 years, despite not listening to much country until last summer

can weld

can cross all of my fingers over each other on both hands in either direction (hard to explain)

can "roll" my tongue

can stick up to 15 Q-tips into various orifices/holes in my head simultaneously, without using my ear canal or mouth

can flip my eyelids "inside out"...sometimes

can perfectly emulate the stereotypical Monster Truck Announcer guy ("SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!!!")...and get paid to do so.

Can "sorta" do ventriloquism

can do the Firemarshall Bill thing with my lips, without using my hands to position them

I dunno, maybe some of these don't "count", but these were all I could think of off the top of my head.

mattevil 08-07-2004 05:44 AM

Shoulder Blade wing ability...check
Spit Bubbles....check

Use chopsticks with my feet
Grow my fingernnails really fast
I can pop my kneecap out (hurts like hell though)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/09...ingerweird.jpg

I must be just filled with recessive genes or something.

aurigus 08-08-2004 04:39 AM

I can drink a large slurpee straight through... I don't get brainfreeze.

ARTelevision 08-08-2004 08:52 AM

Double-jointed finger maneuvers, nose wiggling, ear wiggling - each ear separately, autonomous limb movement, endless conceptual gymnastics, and the ongoing ability to have two wonderful girlfriends living with me.

I do the same thing. :) I like the way it looks. Kinda claw-like.

SpikeQX99 08-08-2004 07:56 PM

Well, lets see here.

I can burp at incredibly loud levels. *not a talent, but a learned trait*

I have double jointed knees. Picture the letter C and that's kinda what I can do from the waist to my ankles. It's a great conversation piece! I'll put up a picture of it soon.

I can juggle, whistle with and without fingers in my mouth to do it.

Wiggle my ears, raise an eyebrow, make my tongue look like a W with a couple extra U's on it, and it's functional! Not just for looks! Someone liked it for more than looks at least.

Um, I have an uncanny knack of knowing what the next song on the radio is gonna be.

I too can tell when a TV or computer screen is left on. I can hear really high pitched noises.

I'm a freak....

:)

fallenangel 08-08-2004 09:20 PM

i can pick up things with my toes... and i can print my name better than Ace can write his own with his hands... And i can tie a bow in a knot with them too. I love my toes.

No i'm not a freak

Menoman 08-09-2004 12:11 AM

Hmm I type at 107 words a minute. Something that my high school typing teacher was blown away by hehe. At normaly day to day. AIM/MMoRPG/forums. I type at 93 words a minute.

I've typed out the first 100 pages of the "A" Edition world book in 2 class periods without a single error. I ended up quitting because I made an error on the word Apostrophe :/ I typed apostrohpe accidentally ! Haunts me to this day that word.

I can crack my fingers 14 times in about 10 seconds. I can just feel the arthritis laughing its ass off.

I can pull a 180 and butterslide on a wakeboard. I'm still learning, the guy teaching me can do just about anything on them. From a Superman Raily to a Hooch glide. I hope to break the worldrecord for staying on water ski's for the longest time.

I CANT blow bubbles with spit even though I've tried millions of times.

I can juggle.

I have the uncanny ability to live in my room which is very very messy. Like.... really messy.











......really it is...

And possibly in someones rectum.


i too can excrete air from my tear ducts.
i have also fallen asleep on a bike once and made it 6 blocks going straight...

whocarz 08-09-2004 01:02 AM

I can masturbate...wait for it....with one hand! Ok, it isn't a quirk or talent, so what? It's probably the thing I'm most proficient at doing. My real talent is that I'm a super asshole.

sashime76 08-09-2004 08:53 AM

I can whistle songs, tunes, not blowing out air, but sucking in air.

Lasereth 08-09-2004 12:32 PM

I guess I can type fast. I type about 90 words per minute without errors and about 130-140 with around 80% accuracy. I can do the Charleston dance really, really well. I just realized that my talents are nothing to be proud of! :)

I can also hear if a regular TV is on from several rooms away, sometimes on the other side of a house. Came in handy in TV production class in high school. I didn't have to enter the next room to know everything had been shut down for the night.

Also, i am pretty good at taking mental pictures. If I drive somewhere, even once, no matter how complex the directions or how far away, I can drive there again without any directions at all. Only thing is, I can't really give directions unless it's an area i'm already familiar with, because i don't memorize street names directly- i just recognize them when i see them.

I wonder if those traits are related; I am also an excellent retracer of routes. My wife's specialty is spotting small animals on the side of the road while driving.

jbuffett 08-10-2004 08:58 AM

I have this strange ability. I show up to work, do work, and amazingly, at the end of each week, this guy shows up and gives me a check....

Baffling....

saut 08-10-2004 12:30 PM

Refridgerator magnets (you know, the little flimsy kind) stick to my forehead for some damn reason. People think it's funny. Every so often, someone I've told will remember and go "ooh, hey, put this magnet on your forehead, John!"

Sterno 08-10-2004 05:40 PM

I have a lot of the same ones but the blowing spit bubbles is the best. You always have something to do. Great at parties watching everyone try to figure out how to do it. My record for keeping one afloat is about 20 seconds.

Oh and one I don't think I saw is the ability to spin my toungue 180 degrees in both directions.

Realizm 08-10-2004 06:00 PM

I can understand women.

And I'm a Man.

mr sticky 08-12-2004 04:53 AM

I do this weird *ring thing* where I take my wedding ring and clip it between the tips of my fingers, then I juggle it by looping my finger, slightly in the center, and clipping with the next. It dangles from the tips (palm down) and I roll it back and forth at like 120 times a minute. I saw this in a movie- The father of the Bride 2 with Steve Martin. He was in bed contemplating his wife's and his daughter's pregnancies. I thought it was cool, and emulated it.

ruggerp11 08-12-2004 08:36 AM

Most of the stuff I can do has already been said:

Blow Bubbles, whistle well, good dexterity in my toes, raise one eyebrow, wiggle my ears, crack joints, sleep anywhere, swing dance, dance in general *or so I've been told, I dunno* roll my stomach, turn my tounge upside down, I almost never get stressed (at all).


I think i am going to make a "sexual talents/quirks post in Tsexuality" it could get interesting.

Redjake 08-12-2004 10:00 AM

I can do the magic card trick where you make a deck of cards flip from one hand to the other while your hands are apart. I wish I had a video of it. Perhaps I'll borrow my dad's digicam again and take a video of it.

SaltPork 08-12-2004 12:20 PM

I have a photographic memory. I can remember faces and names, details about pictures, places and people that I've seen, books that I've read and things that have happened since I was four years old. Helped me graduate college with honors, thank God for the freak genes.

maleficent 11-24-2004 07:31 PM

add one more stupid trick -
I can simultaneously pat my head with one hand and rub my tummy with the other hand... :D

Stiltzkin 11-24-2004 07:39 PM

I can memorize fairly lengthy alphanumeric strings with relative ease.
Useful for memorizing phone numbers, SSN (well mine at least), school ID, library ID (14-digit number), birthdays, license plates (I know the license plate # on all of my friends' cars). Also useful for school, especially when studying stuff that requires tons of memorization like cellular respiration or fermentation.

Oh yeah. I can do that stuff too. :D
What else... oh, yeah, and I can eat faster than any of my friends, or anyone that I know for that matter. I've never entered an eating competition though, and don't really care to either.

As soon as I get my Red Mage in Final Fantasy XI to level 75, I'll post again. Anyone who plays FFXI will know what I'm talking about (genaki 5 for RDM is tough, I hear).

sadistikdreams 11-24-2004 08:00 PM

I can light a match(from a matchbook) with one hand.
I can roll my tounge, pretty standard.
I can "vibrate" my eyes, me and my friends call it "mexican eyes", for some odd reason.

thingstodo 11-25-2004 04:57 PM

I can:

- wiggle both or either ear
- raise either eyebrow
- touch the tip of my nose with my tongue
- put my leg behind my head - and I weight 225 and lift weights
- teach dogs to roll over on command
- play any string instrument except a harp
- cook

How's that?
