Ok, I don't actually care about your dad. Inspired by this post, I started thinking about some of the odd skills and talents I've picked up over the years.

I can operate a 180-foot-tall Ferris wheel.
I know what a Neapolitan 6th is.
I know the basics of a good mana curve in a Magic: the Gathering deck.
I discovered that playing certain chord progressions on a keyboard can put me to sleep.

Just off the top of my head.

What offbeat things can you all do?

Oh, and I can name the source of the quote in this thread title. Can you?

Oddly enough, I'm a righty but do that with my left. Does that mean anything?

It means that this thread is over.

That's it.

In before the lock.

I can sleep for 20+ hours easily if I don't have a reason to wake up..? I can twirl a wooden stick in my hand and/or pretend it's a sword? I can run on walls. I can find really odd ways to bypass a problem with electronics and let me do what I want like recording or playing something. I can pick up stuff, open doors, and type with my feet?

My physics lecture was at 12:30, and I think the prof takes attendance.

I can induce LSD-like effects by meditating.
I can guess at the properties of a chemical from the graphic formula alone fairly correctly, and draw the graphic formulas of a lot of chemicals off the top of my head.
I can ace Maths exams without a calculator, and still be finished after half the time provided.
I can sleep for three weeks straight. (Okay, I do need to drink water once a day, but that doesn't take long.)
I can synthesise Heroin. And cook crack.
I can write shorthand (albeit imperfectly).
I can roll a cigarette while walking and looking in the other direction.
I can have a bunch of €uro coins in my hand and tell the accurate worth of those just by glancing at them.

[More useless stuff]

I wish I had my physics class that late last semester. They only offered physics 1 at 8:30am last semester. Smiley: cry At least they didn't take attendance like they're going to do at my 8:30am chem lecture this semester. Seriously, wtf!?

I sleep in three-hour bursts. People who know me assume that I'm always awake because I can be reached at any time of the day or night, and people who live with me assume that I'm the sleepiest guy ever because I'm always napping.

I read Finnegans Wake when I was fourteen, on a bet from my English teacher. Understood about ten percent of it, but that was enough to write a book report.

I can lift my 98-kilogram sister up in the air, but can't run more than a kilometre before running out of breath.

I have been hit by a speeding car and survived unharmed. I have never broken a bone in my body, and have been seriously injured only once. My brother accidentally stabbed me in the torso with a kitchen knife when I was fifteen, and I called the ambulance myself.

I am an excellent shot with a .22 rifle, but I hate guns and cannot bring myself to shoot even the meanest of game animals.

I am superhumanly proficient at Dawn of War. No man alive has defeated my space marines in fair combat.

Cats love me. I am walking catnip.

But overall, wombats are more interesting than me. Wombats arrange their **** in neat, cubic piles, can break a man's legs when running at full pelt, and court females by chasing them in figure-of-eights until they get tired. I love wombats.

Ahah, you reminded me that I can hurdle and can put both feet behind my head. The latter I probably wouldn't be able to do on demand anymore, since I don't stretch daily like I used to in high school.
