What an interesting thread this turned out to be.
I can sometimes predict which song is coming up next on my iPod on shuffle mode, and start singing along with it, in the right key, the instant it starts.
The "tuning note" (concert Bb) is permanently etched into my mind.
I can hear when there are old-style monitors on in a room, even if the computer itself is off, by the high-pitched sound that most people I've met can't hear.
I'm a sucker for a conspiracy theory.

Speaking of which...
Why aren't more people amazed by Ari's claim, to be able to drain watch batteries? I've heard something like this before. A guy I used to work with said that after his time in the Navy, he couldn't use electric watches anymore, because they stopped working. Why isn't this phenomena studied? Why isn't it front page news? There's something extraordinary going on, but it's one of those things people don't dwell on, even though to me it's astonishing.
