It's not all that "weird" or unusual of a talent since most of the swimmers I train with (including my sister) can do it too, and it's far from useless since it's very handy for beating up guys for fun.

I...remember things.

Right.

Hey, I can do that too. Used to gross people out with it all the time back in elementary and middle school.
I can also bend all of my fingers back about 90 degrees without discomfort, and bend my elbows backwards enough to make people take notice.
And my jaw clicks disconcertingly every time I open it, but that's really more of a flaw-that'll-probably-cost-me-thousands-in-oral-surgery-in-10-years than a talent.

A teacher of mine back in high school could write with both hands, at the same time, one mirroring the other. I can't remember if she could do it without mirroring, though.
When written backwards, cursive looks...Elvish, or something.

YOU LIE!

I have a slightly photographic-ish memory...but I have trouble remembering phone numbers...unless she's especially attractive

...and I can write normal with my right hand, but only mirrored in my left, like that teacher of yours...but other than that I'm normal....oh, and I can click my jaw too. It freaks them out every time...which can be a bad thing.

Heh.. I do the opposite with phone numbers.. I only forget the numbers of cute guys (well, until the third time I dial it.. then I remember it along with every other phone number)..

That, and I know exactly which font you made your av out of... o.O

I can flare my nostrils on command pretty rapidly. On a good day (today is not one) I can make them flare out a couple times a second, but I'm barely able to do more than one a second right this moment. My mom can practically make her nostrils vibrate. *sigh*

I can't wiggle my ears. I only have control of my nostril muscles.

I can fire water, coffee, beer, etc out of my lip piercing hole, I think roughly 2 meters is the furthest I've ever gotten it.
Oh, and I can write using my feet, I've got this huge gap between my big toe and the next one along which was caused by a bit of bone overgrowing in my foot. I had the bone taken out years ago, but my feet were never reshaped. I used to use the gap to grip on to trees and stuff and climb them when I was a kid... just like a monkey...

I can wiggle both ears.

I used to be able to bend my fingers backwards until I was touching the back of my wrist. Getting them within about an inch or so is the best I can manage now. I can also comfortably put both ankles behind my neck, which I have found absolutely no use for whatsoever.

Hmm... lemme see. Most of them are music-related, I think. I can look at a piece of music and "hear" it in my head, and vice versa - I can hear a song and write it down on a staff. Unfortunately the usefulness of that one is basically limited to getting my cell phone to play Rondo Alla Turca without having to download the ringtone or look at the music. I also have perfect pitch, so I can tell you what a note is (usually) or sing a particular pitch when asked. I can also memorize music pretty easily. Maybe not as quickly as Jenat-lai, but then I play the piano, and piano pieces are much more complex than trumpet pieces. (That's not a slight on the trumpet, it's just the truth. I played trumpet for six years, actually.)

I also have a knack for remembering birthdays and phone numbers, which comes in handy. I also remember random bits of trivia, which has helped me on my school's Quiz Bowl team. I have a very good nose and I can identify whatever my mom's cooking from a considerable distance, even if it's something relatively odorless like rice.

I can convert oxygen to carbon dioxide effortlessly, at will.

Dahak · Post by **Dahak** » 2004-03-08 03:36pm

I can make babies cry by just talking to them. Normally.
I can bend the first joint of my fingers with the rest being straight.
I can rotate my feet against each other by obscene angles (I can do 270 degrees while still standing...).
I have an almost photographic memory when it comes down to reading things, and people's faces. And I know trivia I never intended to learn.
I have too sharp canines, I had to blunt them since I kept hurting the inside of my mouth with them.
And it might not be a talent per se, but I never, ever win in lotteries and contests. But whenever I do something in real life (like looking for flats, jobs, or want something) I have ungodly luck

Heh. I can make a sound that sounds exactly like a goat.

How's that for my fifteen minutes of fame?

i can twist my legs (left leg left, right leg right) and place them under my ribs.

Sporkzen · Post by **Sporkzen** » 2004-03-08 05:10pm

I can dislocate my shoulder at will, then bend my arm behind my back and touch the top of my head.

I can stick my bare feet to the floor like suction cups. *flat feet*

Roll my tongue, can almost turn my left foot 360 degrees. (290 had a friend measure the circle)

My wierdest "talent" is eyeball shaking. I can make them jiggle back and forth in my eye sockets very fast, and very far.

Being able to quote large chunks and in some cases entire sketches/ films of Python and some others by heart...

Eh. In that case, it's the letter 'T' from the font "Tattoo."
