What's your weird talent?

Elizabeth

Yet again I'm fulfilling my contractual obligation to provide a BS non-PHP topic for discussion. This stems from a conversation I had earlier in which I was called "weird" because I can find 4 leaf clovers very easily. I find them all the time- at least 3-4 a week- more if I actually look hard. This isn't that weird is it? And if it is I guess that would be my weird talent - they say everyone has one. So... what's yours?

My weird talent, well maybe not weird and don't know if it is odd or not, but I can remember phone numbers, cc numbers, social security numbers and numbers of that sort if i just look at them once or twice, hell I remember every locker number and combination for the lock, for every locker i ever had in junior high, and high school, i can also remember phone numbers of people that i can barely remember what they look like, sometimes brains are wasted, aren't they, LOL 🙂

Stolzy, that isn't too weird it's kind of like Rainman. You might want to look into changing your screenname. Gotta watch Wapner.

stolzyboy

Yeah, it may be like Rainman, but he was autistic, and I'm pretty sure I'm not, so who knows, maybe I'm a closet autistic person.

I sleepwalk.
In bed.
I didn't know I did it until the mother of my children told me "wow, that was really great last night." I looked at her with a blank stare on my face. It took me about 30 minutes to convince her I couldn't remember a thing.

Oh, and I can tie cherry stems in my mouth quite easily.

And I make the best salsa I've ever tasted, and apparently a lot of associates who's tasted it agree.

And, I'm a joy for customer service reps. Seriously, I've had them stay on the line for an extra 5 or 10 minutes just to chat when we're done.

I can do the cherry stems trick too, as well as unwrapping Starburst wrappers

But can you fold an origami crane in your mouth from the wrapper. I guess not, I know what I'd be doing for a living if I could do that :p

Im positive im not the only person in world. But anyway when i was at school. Which i hated. If i had something due or didnt want to go id be able to make myself sick, and make it prolong it until i wanted to be better.

Mind you i made myself extremely sick doing this so it has side effects that can be nasty.

My other hidden talent

I have a built in alarm clock. Seriously, I can tell myself to wake up at 7:20am or whatever, and do it. It has to be at least 5 hours or so after I go to sleep to work, but i've done it all my life.

planetsim

hehe i used to be like that.. No matter what time i went to bed id wake up at 6am...

Then i changed it around when i had to wake up really early hmm 4 30am that early.. so im not able to do it anymore.

My wierd talent is my ability to think of wierd and wonderful new innovations, improvements, etc. I'm able to think of the really really obvious, which is harder than it sounds - like a cat flap(no one would think of putting a door into a door because they already have a door and why would THEY need a new door? Oh wait, my cat might...). This is offset by my complete lack of will to actually do anytthing, so I could be rich if I could actually start my ideas - but thats not gonna happen.

stolzyboy

yeah, well maybe not in Australia has the cat/dog door been around long, but is has been in America for as long as I can remember

i thought of the flugelbinder, ya know the plastic part on the end of your tennis shoes laces

It was invented in England round about the mid-seventeenth century by a bloke named Isaac Newton. I think he got a knighthood for it.

ok weird talents :

I scare people... actually I terrify most of them not that i look nasty but my stare is not the most freindly thing u ever saw.
I find bugs in applications (a LOT)
I can smoke 5 HUGE cigars a day and be totally cool about it (my visa ain't though)
I can spend the rest of my life in front of a computer (prolly will anyway)
And I CAN bullshit a bullshitter

goldbug

I apparently have the uncanny ability to get a really awesome parking space in large parking lots (mall, grocery store, etc...), regardless of day/time. It's really just luck or chance, but I usually end up with an awesome spot maybe 90-95% of the time.

How far is it from Brixton to Waterloo?

I ride in peak hour traffic... the funny thing about it is. I probably get home before most. Depending on the wheather though of course
