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

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? |

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.

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....

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...

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.

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!

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. |

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!"

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. Last edited by Sterno; 08-10-2004 at 05:43 PM.. |

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Quote:
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).

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.
