I agree my silence gave me a headache (and several moments of odd visual hallucinations).

Merv the Perv? Did we go to school together?

Been doing tarot since i was 9 years old. Been involved with remote viewing since the mid 90's. (Finding missing persons, murders, serial killers etc..) Hypnosis, but I'm seriously out of practice. Don't get the wrong idea, I'm a hard line skeptic when it comes to fluff bunnies.

mommared53

I can trip over nothing.

Arester

I have a tongue like Gene Simmons.

I can lick my elbow.

I have hitchhiker thumbs.

I can bend my thumb backwards and touch the back of my forearm. :happy:

Mrs_McFadden

I have a very keen sense of intuition about people. (or I can say what Phil said..I can pyscho analyze you rather quickly)

I can trace a person from birth to adulthood in photographs with huge families :] I am very good at figuring out how people will age and how their face looked when younger etc..it's weird...it doesn't sound quantifiable, but I've utilized it in many random ways. It's kind of the same thing police sketch artists do when they 'age' someone.

I can read from any direction (can't most people? Idk..whenever I read upside down out of convenience people always act like it's magic wth)

xerinx2011

I can put my legs behind my neck.
I can lay on my belly and touch the back of my head with my toes.
I can hold my breath for ages under water.
Im a great cook
And i can knit!!:laugh:

michelegbowman

I can drive with no hands.

Setof2Keys

I can pick up things with my feet.

LOL, I think this is a trick we learned being overweight. We couldn't bend over or we lose all circulation to our head...LOL

CarolHudson11

I can put my socks on and take them off just using my toes. (I learned that little trick when I was a kid - my friend broke both her arms in a car wreck. I was being silly trying to show her how many things she could do without her hands! lol)

And I can tie a cherry stem into a knot with my tongue.

Gogo76

I have double jointed elbows also, and when I lay my arms out flat you can see the underside part of my arm, but the top of my hand.

I have this exact thing. My elbows swivel around, no matter what my hands are doing, and they bend back very far. It makes push-ups interesting, that's for sure. I can also raise each eyebrow separately and make my tongue look like a three-leaf clover. I have one hitchhiker's thumb. The other is normal. I can also nag anything to death. It's a skill.

Yes, it does make push-ups interesting!!:laugh:

Okay, it's not really an "ability", it's considered a "neurological disorder". But I see music. It's called synesthesia, and it's when stimulus in one sense produces a response in another, usually unconnected sense. Like seeing sounds as colors, lines, shapes etc. or tasting musical notes (C minor is bitter, etc.)

Some forms of synesthesia, like tasting musical notes or smelling colors, are more rare. The most common form is having colored weekdays (ie. monday is red, tuesday is green) and months. Letters/numbers to color is also very common. I have that one as well.

Oh, and in synesthetes there are two types- projectors and associators. Associators don't actually "see" the synesthetic response, they see it in their minds eye or have a very definite association. Projectors actually see their responses outside of their bodies, like on a screen in front of them. I'm a projector with my colored sounds and have associated colored letters.

Synesthetes are born with synesthesia and have it their whole lives. Some people experience temporary synesthesia after taking LSD, and a few people develop synesthesia after an accident/brain damage. It's true synesthesia, though, if the responses are always consistent (they don't change day to day or even year to year) and they're involuntary (you can't turn them off).

I can write mirror image with my left hand, with joined up handwriting and everything, but only if I don't look.

WHOA! I can't quite do that, but I can write backward cursive (without a mirror) - sort of like Da Vinci, except I just write drivel, no concepts for flying machines, etc.

@chrissyh: I can do a pretty good shrieking chimp sound - I challenge you to a monkey-off!

UpToAnyCool

I can make a single lady give up guys.:smokin:

Hmmm....do you mean a single lady stops looking at other men after she finds you b/c you are the one for her :smooched:

I can make my toes do "the worm". Creeps out my sister, I love it.

KristenAnn711

I'm good at estimating things. I can pull a number out of my *kitten* and I seem to be close or right on the money more often than not.

Also, I can fix your computer.

Fix mine!

KristenAnn711

What is "hitchhiker" thumb

Jovialation

I can apparently guess how many pieces of bread are in a loaf....ok I only did that once.
I can walk on my hands underwater...in the shallow end of the pool.

I can make friends with anyone, despite being a total jerk.
I can turn off my emotions.
I can touch my tongue to my nose.

I can hear a tv just being on w/o anything actually being on.
Apparently I can hear that its raining w/o hearing anything water related. (just noticed it last week)
Basically I cant do much of anything neat, but I can do stuff.
I can read people ridiculously well and forever make them feel better...whether I volunteer to be "that friend" or not

I must lay hands on it. The process is similar to that of a faith healer.

I have heard of that before. I'm guessing you got into some trouble with teachers when you were learning the alphabet. Because I'm a nerd as well, is it genetic or random?
