    I can lock both feet behind my head and walk on my hands

    I can tie a cherry stem with my tongue

    My eyes change color with my mood tho I have nothing to do with that and it can be a bad thing

    I'm only jealous that you can tie a cherry stem!

    I can burp the alphabet.

    I can wiggle my eyes independently of each other.

    I can lick my own nose or the bottom of my chin.

    I am double jointed all over.

    Lots and lots of other stupid stuff. Basically, I am the Queen of Stupid Human Tricks.

    So hot.

    I qualify for the tongue olympics. Really. I read about it in a Reader's Digest, and took the test, and totally qualified.

    I invented a funny face when I was 8 years old that I called 'Boobie Lip'; I've still never met another person who makes this particular face.

    I love swimming; when I was a kid I figured out how to expel a bubble underwater from my mouth and lodge it in my eyeball so that I could see perfectly clearly under water. It's like swim goggles but sans the goggles bit and a million times better.

    I have perfected the art of changing from business clothes into my gym clothes (including shoes and sports bra) while driving. No joke. And I've never ONCE flashed any random motorist any boob while doing so.

    I can flare my nostrils rapidly to make them look like they're fluttering.

    Don't know if this counts but I can blow bubbles the size of my own head and bubbles within bubbles. (I was an avid gum chewer for 6 years straight, I can chew the sugar and flavor out of any gum in roughly 30 seconds so the bubbles are hardier)

    I can pop virtually any joint in my body. I crack my toes, all three joints in my fingers, my wrists, kneecaps, part of my spinal cord... it's basically because I have what's called Joint Hypermobility Syndrome, or basically "double-jointed" but it makes it easy to pop or dislocate joints partially and completely and get them back in myself. I actually scared a nurse one day as I bent forward, touching my toes, to pop my spine and hips because I'd been standing up straight too long, she almost called 911 after all the noise my body made.

    I used to be able to get this very helium-sounding high-pitched voice if I touched the back of my tongue to the roof of my mouth, it sounded either like a chipmunk or alien but I lost it when I had my tonsillectomy.

    This one's kinda gross, I can play "spit yo yo", basically letting a long thread of drool/spit out your mouth and slurping it back up before it breaks. I did it all the time as a kid until I had a friend that, weirdly, couldn't stand the sight of spit. It would actually make her nauseous.

    I am really good at imitating people. I can do some (horrible) accents (southern, french, german, etc) and I make my cats talk to one another. For example, my cat Izzy is italian, Edward is german, and Sophia is french. Let's just say when the men with white coats come I won't be that surprised.

    My cat is a very pretentious English man, and every time the dogs are running around he just says, "Oh, these dogs." My fiancé finds me slightly odd...

    I can balance things really well, either on my fingers or on a flat surface.
    I also like to spin a pillow while it's on my finger.
    I also never need a bookmark. Whatever book I'm reading (and I read all the time), I can close it and put it down, and the next time I pick it up, open it to the right page and start reading exactly where I left off.

    Was trying to think of something I can do.

    Here are a few:

    - Imitate voices and sounds
    - Remember long strings of numbers
    - Play the guitar like mad!

    Extremely flexible. I'm talking full Bird of Paradise yoga pose.

    Wait. I don't think that is actually silly.

    I have a killer London accent when I want, even though I've never been. My Brit friend asks me to do it all the time because it freaks her out.

    I can independently drop my eyelids (not blink because you kind of squint when you blink) I can do it to music. Mostly just creeps people out though

    Due to the fact that I never finished level 1 of Rosetta Stone Mandarin Chinese, I can now say some assorted things with no practical use. I would give examples, but writing it isn't part of that talent...

    I kick *kitten* at name that tune, particularly really bad muzak versions of songs, and especially, for some reason, the really bad muzak played at Chinese buffets.

    like somebody else said I can find items in my purse without looking because I know what it feels like and the shape of it.

    I also have another talent my husband is jealous of, I can find my way around in any room in my house in complete darkness. I just have the ability to remember exactly where everything is and where I am in the room.

    I just got "called out" (basically a dare) that I would not post mine. And If I don't post this, I have to drink my calories in Jaeger tongiht. UGH.

    If you turn your car radio on seek, where the channel changes every few seconds... I can give you the Title or Artist of EVERY SONG before the station changes.

    I can put the bottom of a beer bottle completely in my mouth, behind the teeth (I was told this was important to mention).

    I am double jointed in my jaw.

    And Yes, my hubby does love me. :smooched:

    When I was a kid I memorized the answers to all the questions in Trivia Pursuit. Can't remember a lot of them.
