I've discovered recently that I can write backwards--as in, readable in a mirror backwards--almost as fast as I can write forwards, with nearly all my letters perfectly made (for some reason, I have problems with the lower-case "a").
So, what are your weird, useless skills?

I can splay my feet so that they make an obtuse angle.

I can burp at will. Not just tiny burps, I'm talking about belches that rock the room.

I am most excellent at building small houses out of pretzel sticks and peanut butter.

I can do that too.
I can also make stunningly accurate animal calls. Where's my blowgun?

According to my co-workers, my weird talent is being able to answer any question they have about nearly everything... from Biblical to Scientific to Historical, to Mythological.
In other words, I know a little about a whole lot of things.....

I am immune to commercials. They have no effect on me... I think.

Using peanut butter is cheating.

I can do the backward thing...and di so to one English teacher....god he hated me for that one.
my odd talent is attracting cats to sleep on me, something I can't really exploit though.

Is not. Gingerbread house-makers get to use icing sugar, so I get to use peanut butter with my pretzels.

I can shave with a pocket knife without cutting myself. It's definitely one of those "I'm a trained professional, don't try this at home kids" kind of things.

I can touch my nose with my tongue(as in like touching half way up)
I can appear smart to people by never answering anything unless I know I'm right and saying very condesendingly.

This is my talent. I win trivia contests. Period.

I can make fundies angry by talking to them calmly. On a webboard, they can always pretend they're not angry, and I like to use foul language so people often think I'm angry. But face to face, you can see the mottled red flush on their faces, the agitation, the body language ... they can't hide it.
It's more fun in some ways to go face to face, because then you can use so many body language tricks, in addition to the verbal arguments. One of my favourites is a big shit-eating grin that slowly spreads across my face while they're speaking, as if I've heard their argument before (which I have) and consider it laughable (which I do). The slowly developing big smile gets them mad as hell every time.
Other than that, I don't really have any special or weird talents, unless you count smooth-talking an innocent Christian farmgirl into anal sex.

I can contort my thumbs in very strange, seemingly painful ways because they're double-jointed.
I can also tie my penis in a knot.
No, not really. I can't back that up.

Imagine if you could bottle and sell that talent...
