Random Talents Thread

[tickle_fan031]

Has anybody got any??For example, raising one eyebrow, wiggling ears, rolling tongue, whistling with two fingers; one in either side of your mouth (forget the correct name), double jointedness etc etc...

I can roll my tongue and bend my thumbs sideways to 180 degrees...sounds random I know...imagine you hand in the normal resting position,ie flat on a table, I can bend my thumbs downwards to touch my arm/wrist area...so it goes from the 12 o'clock to the 6 o'clock position. Maybe other people can do this I don't know but none of my mates can-they think it looks freaky :lol

Citing your examples, sure. I can raise one eyebrow at a time. My right thumb is also double-jointed, so I can move that around all willy-nilly. I can also play the guitar, if that counts for anything.

I can hula hoop for hours on end...all while chewing gum..

I can stretch an octave from my thumb and each of my four fingers on the piano, and an octave plus two tones with my thumb and fifth finger.

I can do the "two fingered whistle thing" except I dont need to use my fingers. I tighten my lower lip and curve my tounge into a "u" shape. It can be heard from quite aways away. Learned how to do it when I was 10, Mainly cuz my dad and grandpa could do it. So I felt I needed to learn how.

I can do the Kessel Run in under 12 parsecs.


Okay, let's see, a real talent that I didn't steal from Star Wars. XD I'm very good with electronics. I build silly little things, like a "keyboard light" out of a small LED attached to an old USB cord I took from an old mouse.

I take in stray radios and stereo equipment from thrift shops and nurse it back to health!

That's a worthy pursuit 🙂 I used to do that in Nor Cal, where there were many good, cheap thrift stores selling old radios and cameras.
