Strange Quirks or Talents You May Have
Do you guys have any strange talents or odd quirks that you'd like to share? It always strikes me as funny when I discover that someone I have known for a while has a really odd talent/quirk.
Personally.... I can say "Who's Your Daddy?" In quite a few different languages including
Bring on the talents!

I can juggle
I can make balloon animals (No, I never wanted to be a clown) I can find humor in any situation... The other "talents", well -- I don't talk about such things.... (I am shy)

"The Hmong language is one of a group of closely related languages of Southeast Asia and Southern China often referred to as the Miao-Yao languages. Besides being spoken by Hmong people in Laos, Thailand, Burma, and Vietnam, the Hmong language is widely spoken by the Miao minority in Southern China."
I don't really have any strange quirks or talents.

I have the super power of extending my shoulder blades out from my back (almost looks like short wings). My daughter also seems to have this strange power/abnormality also. It doesn't feel like it is a double jointed kind of thing, but I could be wrong. I've never met anyone else that can even begin to do this.

Not really a talent just sort of an odd quick.
I am sort of ambidextrous. I write with my left hand, but I throw with my right. I fight right, bat right, swing right. It's like I'm 90% right handed, but I write with my left hand and do a couple of other things lefty. For the most part I try and use both of my hands as much as possible...

I can hear when a television screen changes from a bright scene to a dark scene, and vice versa. I can also hear that a computer monitor in the house is on from a couple of rooms away.

My fingers are double jointed so that i can point the tips back parralel to my forearm with no pain. I can dislocate my shoulder on cue. I'm not sure if the last bit is a 'talent' since the orthopaedic specialist calls it "multi directional shoulder instability." Basically, my ligaments are there only for symbolic purposes since they do little to pull the joint together and keep it tight.
I used to live in Eureka, CA. Thats way up north about 70mi from the oregon border for those unfamilar. There was a significant population of Hmong people there. That particulary group was involved with the CIA during the Vietnam war, and in order to save them from persecution for cooperation with the CIA they were mass relocated to northern california. |

Talents
The base joint of my left thumb is jointed in such a way as to allow me to place all five of the fingers of my left hand flat on a surface. My brother has this same ability, only his right hand is the one that possesses it. We like to sicken people by bending our thumbs back, and then making a high-five motion while mockingly saying "Shazzam!" (Anyone who has never seen the Hanna-Barbera cartoon, just keep scrollin' ) I can pick things up with my toes, wave with them, and otherwise grip things with my toes as if they were fingers. If I place my feet flat against the floor, I can wiggle my toes in such a way as to make a distressingly loud popping sound, as if all my toes accept my big toes are double jointed. Quirks I have the odd habbit of whistling obscure video game tunes at the most inopportune times, i.e. whenever I am with someone and we are in public. Also, when I am playing card or board games. My dream woman would not only be of normal size with dark hair and beautiful blue eyes but have large, leathery wings and fangs as well. (At least I have three out of five, currently ) I like the taste of both pennies and blood. (come to think of it, most metalic tastes are nice ones.) I think that's it for now.

I can curl my tongue, make a bowl shape, clover shape, and touch my nose with it.
Ummm yeah that's pretty much it. Other than my tongue, the rest of me is boringly normal.

Cool - the Vulcan hand sign is a special trick? I can do it with both hands..
And I can whistle for a cab too (which I've learned that it's not appropriate to do that in Chicago... Only NY....

I can:
- Move each of my toes independent of the other (very limited movement though) - Wiggle my ears, scalp, and right eyebrow in a suffeciently coordinated fashion as to make a little show - blow air out my eye - Simultaneously make 6, 7, and 9, in the air with limbs - Geuss your weight freakishly well - Remain calm in near anything - Shift my weight really fast and well - Kick myself in the chin in under 1.3 seconds (6' 1") - 'Vibrate' my eyes - Crank out 63 small burps a minute - Produce 17 good burps a minute - Burp all manner of verbal items - Acoustics are used like 20/400 eyes in the back of my head - Push buttons abnormally fast, I mean fast and that is all I can, off the top of my head, remind myself of by twitching, wiggling, and generally tinkering with my body in my chair.
