    Mine aren't very useful...

    - I can fart louder than my husband. (Though, his smell like raw sewage which I can't compete with.)
    - I can bend my thumbs back over the top of my hand.
    - I can catch chipmunks in traps and re-home them next to golf courses. (My favourite.)

    I am full of stupid human tricks -
    I can lick my own nose or the bottom of my chin,
    fold myself up like a pretzel with my feet behind my back (I'm insanely flexible)
    twist my pinky around 180 degrees,
    am double jointed all over,
    can burp the alphabet (classy, I know),
    can wiggle/cross each eye independently of the other,
    and any other number of things, and yet... I can't whistle.
    And... my tmi trick is that I have no gag reflex. :)

    Hm... I am also a QuickBooks expert - I can fix it if it is broken or teach you how to make it be awesome for you.
    Finally, I am the most talented person I know at injuring myself - I once cut my finger on a piece of lettuce.

    -I can whistle loud enough to catch a cab from blocks away
