What "Weird" Things Can You Do?

[Deleric]

So, I don't like to brag, but apparently I live my life differently than most others my age. Maybe I just hang out with different people or something, but what is daily to me seems rare to them. For some reason, I type faster than the normal person (90-something wpm) and I can solve a Rubix Cube in 1 minute and 30 seconds.

Whether you're seeking to impress friends or you've just naturally adapted by learning these things, I want to know what useless shit you've wasted your life doing. Can you sing in a foreign language? Are you the type of person who can link actors together by their filmography on the spot? What's the farthest digit you can count to in Pi?

And now, I leave you with a question. Can you recite THIS by memory?


EDIT: I'm also left-handed. Huh.

I will almost always be very close to my "peak" thinking ability. Right when I wake up, I'm thinking at about 90%-95%. Same as with late at night. The only time I'm not at around that level is after a couple days of no sleep.

 

[Sir Kemper]

I can laugh like a jockey, along with doing a whole bunch of other assorted voices.



Also, Ellis' buddy Keith hangs out at my apartment, and I occasioanly lend him my mic so he can tell stories to the good folks on the escapist TF2 server.

 

[arsenicCatnip]

The modern man speech! I can't recite ALL of it, but I know a good portion of it.

Something weird I can do... um. Both of your examples, actually. I can sing in Japanese and Spanish, and I can link voice actors together by roles in anime/video games without thinking. Not film actors though. I don't watch too many movies.

 

[CoverYourHead]

I remember quotes, really, really well. After I've seen a T.V. show I can recite most of it perfectly. It makes acting a lot simpler.

However, this makes me a jerk whenever people try to quote something, as I often correct them since mis-quoting is a pet-peeve of mine.

I to am always close to my peak thinking ability, a near constant 90%. My only flaw however is that my 90% is the average mans 40%. oh why can't I genetically alter my mind to become smarter, surely life would be better.

In school, when bored (and having a properly shaped item, like a pen) I flip it through my fingers. After my friend started doing it after seeing a Bond villian doing it, I eventually figured it out myself. Also "taught" myself the Spock hand sign using rubberbands and can do it now.

Alot of eye play too. I like tricking people into thinking I have a lazy eye and making figure eights.

My brother can do barrel rolls with his tounge.

Spoiler: Oh look, it's THIS thread again.

I can use a search bar and thus not repeat topics over and over. It doesn't sound that weird, but obviously there are a lot of people who can't.

 

[The Eggplant]

I can read and retain information at about 700-800 words per minute.

I can sleep standing up (a side effect of crashing with some of my ROTC buddies last summer).

I'm ambidextrous.

That's about it, really.

Effectively, duh.

 

[Vilcus]

I can move both of my eyes independant of eachother, I am able to curl my tongue into a clover (three loops instead of the usual 1), I can make a very loud clicking sound by placing my tongue against the roof of my mouth and snapping it back.

That's about it, mostly useless (except the eye thing, it's good for looking in two places at once, but it gives me a headache). To answer the reciting that guy's act... at the moment no. However if you gave me a script of what he says then I could probably memorize it in a few weeks.

I can gleet(and not the STD kind).

Definition - The ejection of saliva directly out of ones salvatory glands and out of his/her mouth. The technique is hard to master. You must quickly press the tip of your tounge against the back of your front teeth, while doing so you must "push down" on the lower part of your toung where the elastic-like tendon that connects the tounge to the bottom of the mouth joins the tounge. It is hard to do, but once done, it it's even harder to master.

Is this thread done 100 times a day? Has everyone posted a response in the old ones? Doubt it. People are so uptight about repeats.

It's not people being uptight about repeats, it's people being lenient about them.

Sometimes things should be repeated. Plus the search bar is a pain anyways, and there is ALWAYS the likelyness for new things to be said, and no one wants to revive dead topics anyways. People apparently don't like replies to things they said months ago.

 

[Giest4life]

I actually don't give a flying fuck what anybody else can do---I guess that's my only superpower.

 

[Gimelbub]

I can put my foot behind my head. This isn't that weird in itself, but it really freaks out my friends, since I am an overweight male.

I can also read several times faster than my classmates, and finished To Kill a Mockingbird in a couple of hours.

Of course. Fear The Claw.
