    I like to learn random and semi-useless to useful skills based on a small interest in them.

    A few that I have learned:

    Cooking
    Origami
    Woodworking
    Juggling

    Up next is:

    Lockpicking

    Lock picking is fun, tough when you start out though.

    Yeah that is what I hear. I want to pick up a book and a half dozen padlocks of differing manufacturers and just have at it until I master it. I'd try safecracking as well, but that could get expensive. :laugh:

    I'd say check out YouTube. They have some pretty good instructional videos. And if you buy a kit it should come with a book on basics.

    Oh, awesome!! Any advice on getting a decent quality kit?

    I treat water and waste water for a living. I am useful. I can purify drinking water myself at home if the need ever arises.

    Oh, other skills that I want to master are survival skills. After locking picking I want to try:

    Firestarting with various materials
    Snare trapping
    Foraging in various environments.

    Once the "Cosby Show" went off the air, I saw no reason for TV to continue. Plus, I have exhausted every documentary related to serial killers and television evangelists.

    Get a few tension wrenches, cause chances are you'll probably break one in the beginning. lol
    Other than that, not much.

    I have genetic mutation that makes women who have it amenorrheic and sterile...and I have a biological son.

    So not only am I a freak, but I'm not even a normal freak by freak's standards. :laugh:
