Poll: Unusual Useful Skills?

[Metric Monkey]

Many people here have unusual talents and skills. But many of those skills don't find use outside of pure entertainment.
How many of you can put that abnormal ability to use outside of entertainment?
I used to participate in wrestling, and I'm double jointed and very flexible so I could basically never be pinned down. I do believe I won once for my "amazing escapes".

 

[Armored Prayer]

I pretty flexible also, too bad I have no use for it. (besides showing off)

 

[Brown Cap]

Does hyperextending my fingers count?

 

[Pandalisk]

My skill is struggling, i can struggle out of anything, its just what i do, people dont bother trying to hold me down because i can just struggle out of it, i once had twenty people trying to get me into janitors room to take credit for breaking a window, well i put my skill to good use, awwwh yeah.

 

[quiet_samurai]

I have extremely good hearing and a photographic mind. I also have really good aim, which I apply to all sorts of things.

 

[Noamuth]

I find it very easy to imagine things, say.. Characters in my head, then sort of project them into a space in front of me. I think that's where a lot of my childhood invisible friends came form. o.o

It is good if I want to describe something in detail. But I do wish it would make me be able to draw easier/better.

*sigh*

Anyway. Apart from that, nothing particularly useful, unless not being able to fully extend my arms counts for some stupid reason. Bah.

 

[2012 Wont Happen]

I can play guitar- but that's not unusual

so no

 

[GodsOneMistake]

I'm observant as hell........ And have a knack for wrestling considering I have hardly been trained

I can stand on one foot for extended periods of time. Either foot. Use to annoy my parents to death because I'd stand in the living room on one foot watching TV for hours. Comes in handy once in awhile when there's limited floor space. Downsaide, my knees like to stay locked which made my dreams of skateboarding just that. Dreams.

I don't know why that's so funny. XD

It annoyed your parents? That's awesome.

 

[Dogstile]

I notice things... *shifty eyes*

 

[Ruzzian Roulette]

I have a very acute attention to detail, and a very well-developed sense of sarcasm.

 

[walls of cetepedes]

Does being able to move silently, even in heavy boots count?

Because that is fun.

 

[Sightless Wisdom]

My memory is almost photographic. Almost.

 

[Sightless Wisdom]

This one too.

 

[Greenansatsu]

I can pick stuff up with my foot. Its useful if I don't feel like bending down.

 

[Beffudled Sheep]

I can ignore severe amounts of pain.
It helps me every second of every day.
I also notice things...

 

[iblis666]

i have the ability to become a beserker and feel no pain which would be useful if i fought but im usually a pacifist

I do this also. I'll grab stuff out of my dogs mouth with my toes and then play tug of war with him. And if I'm barefoot, which I almost always am, I never bend down for anything I can fit between my toes. Pens, remotes, clothing, books, barbells, etc...
