Weird talents
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?

Any city gets what it admires, will pay for, and, ultimately, deserves…We want and deserve tin-can architecture in a tinhorn culture. And we will probably be judged not by the monuments we build but by those we have destroyed.--Ada Louise Huxtable, "Farewell to Penn Station", New York Times editorial, 30 October 1963

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.....

Nitram, slightly high on cough syrup: Do you know you're beautiful?
Me: Nope, that's why I have you around to tell me.
Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.

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.
aerius: I'll vote for you if you sleep with me.
Lusankya: Deal!
Say, do you want it to be a threesome with your wife? Or a foursome with your wife and sister-in-law? I'm up for either.

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.

Re: Weird talents
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.
