I can turn my shoulders around almost 180 degrees from my hips... I have a really flexible spine.
I must say that's the most awesome thing Ive heard in awhile.

I see dead people. Wait, no, my only skill is watching a screen. Sometimes if I've drunk enough coffee, it has a lot of dead people on it.

Seriously, let me get my Cone of Eating and you can just toss whatever stuff in there you line.

No change bigger than a quarter though, please, those just clog up the Cone.

I can hit you so hard that i can alter your DNA. Decades from now your descendants will occasionally clutch their heads and yell "What was that?"

Only Chuck Norris can do that.

I have, at some point, cracked every single joint in my body. I can still crack many joint (most in my hand and wrists) at will.

Does being insanely, unnaturally skinny count as a skill?
i can crack my hips, spine, shoulders, knees, ankles, and toes at will. I can turn my shoulders 180 degrees from my hips and i can dislocate my hips at will.

I can open doors and pick things up with my toes.
And apparently I wiggle my nose like the girl from Bewitched from time to time, but it's more of a subconscious-habit and I don't realize I'm doing it unless someone points it out.

Thank you. ^_^; Most people just find it a bit freakish. Like my long, dexterous toes.

Real Name: Michel Lotito

Superpower: Super-Eating

This basically means the guy can eat and even digest metal, glass and even toxic, poisonous material without going "Oh, shit! What was I thinking!" before puking blood and dying, which is what normally happens when other people try.

Michel Lotito's stomach lining is twice as thick as normal, a rare condition that most doctors agree developed in the womb, though nobody is sure how. Was a pregnant Mrs. Lotito bitten by a radioactive billy goat giving goat genes to Le Fetus Mangetout? We're forced to assume so until prove otherwise.

Lotito knew that fate had endowed him with special powers, so he answered the call and when he was 9-years-old, he started eating a television set. In the years since, Lotito got himself a career in entertainment eating bicycles, supermarket trolleys and even a coffin (there was no body inside ... or so he claims).

Lotito even entered the Guinness book of records when he ate a goddamn airplane. Sure, it took him two years to do it, but he ate two pounds of metal per day during the whole thing. Recent X-rays show he still has pieces of metal in his stomach and even a chain still stuck in there.

As journalists, we feel compelled to draw your attention to the fact that his special power wasn't eating an airplane, so much as it was shitting an airplane. Anybody can swallow a foreign object. The other side of the equation is where it gets hard, and on our team of real-life superheroes, we're thinking the plane-shitting would actually be more useful than anything the Das Uberboy does (hey, we have some specific goals in mind).

Once you're that guy, you can say that you can consume anything.

I can touch my shoulder with my elbow. I can balance a glass on my chest while sitting upright. These things freak people the hell out.

I'm good at fixing things.

Apparently I am also a veritable fountain of obscure knowledge, trivia and just good at saying random crazy shit.

In the same sentence I can go from talking about how to extract rocket fuel from the Martian atmosphere to "No, no, no, when they're making polyester first they extrude the melted plastic into a solid fiber, THEN they shred that up and spin the shredded material into thread" and end with "You know, if I was going to commit suicide I'd make sure to fast for 24 hours or so before hand so I don't shit all over myself when I die. Not saying that I'm planning to kill my self but...what? Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Me to... People are always like wtf how do you do that..? Its cos i can think about 15 unrelated things at once. It litterally caused me to get depression because i couldnt stop thinking about how much i hate humanity. But now i use it because it allows for things like scoring 100 in a science paper out of 100, and fighting like batman from arkam asylum, not the epic moves but the counters.

This is a real sticky situation, isn't it?
MY STOMACH IS HOME TO CTHULU!

For He shall consume all that enters His domain.
Stupendous and unheard-of splendours await me below, and I shall seek them soon. Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!

On topic: I have an ability to talk my way in or out of anything I put my mind to, and to integrate myself into people's thoughts as the last person you'd imagine doing what I just got accused of.

Examples? In high school, I got pulled into a fight with a much bigger guy, and I wound up throwing him down a flight of stairs by using his bullrush against him. The principal never once considered that little old Nerdfury could possibly EVER do that and gave the other guy detention.

I also floored this annoying kid two years younger than me in front of several witnesses, and even with the witnesses I didn't get into any trouble.

Many years later, I manage to talk my way into exclusive parties and gigs, and most recently I told my especially hateful and arrogant female colleague to fuck herself in a way that the holy books of the world thought abhorrent, and my manager was all "Nerdfury? Really? HE said that? Nawwww."
