I am the only one in the world with my name. I was mentioned in an obscure song by a semifamous band (It wasn’t by name but supposedly it refers to me). ---

As I have mentioned on this board in the past, I have [Situs Inversus Totalis](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Situs_inversus). I usually win all the “unique” or “weird” contests with that one. My daughter even entered a study of me in a science fair in elementary school… 😛 ---

I have the freakish ability to spot four-leafed clovers anywhere in any season. I have at any given time 20 or 30 pressed into whatever book I am currently reading, and inadvertently leave a trail of them in every waiting room I visit. I can spot 4-leafs from a (slowly) moving car, and frequently jump out at stop lights, pick one, and hand it to my companion. For some reason, this useless skill upsets people. Still I persist. (If anyone needs a few for craft or jewelry making purposes, send me an address. Seriously. I have an ever-replenishing surplus of symbolic luck.) ---

I had a job afterschool when I was 14. That isn’t the unique part. I was a studio musician. I’ve played guitar nearly my whole life and by jr. high I was alright on a drumset as well. When a studio opened up near my hometown, they often got musicians who sang and played guitar, but had no band. I filled in on guitar when needed until I turned 16, then I started drumming with bands when they needed it… Brendon ---

When I was a young boy, I had bright, straight, blond hair. When puberty hit, it slowly started getting darker and slightly curly. Now, it is what most consider a light brown, and if it gets long enough, curls up at the edges and on the front considerably. However, I still have bright blond highlights…in my _eyebrows_. I also have red hair…in my _beard_. I too have given more than enough info on this board to easily identify me. ---

I have 8 kids. Certainly not unique in the world, but I have yet to see anyone posting to the boards who has more. That’s 1 bio-kid, 3 step-kids, and 4 adopted. ---

[QUOTE=Enginerd] Not unique to me, but to two of my cousins: Both their paternal and maternal grandfathers have an identical distinction belonging to approximately 0.001% of a subset (~0.3%) of the US population. I can’t really figure out a way to elaborate on that without providing enough information to identify them. [/QUOTE] [They are Blue People!](http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a980724.html) I’m just shooting at worms in a barrel here. It was the first thing I thought of. You don’t have to divulge. ---

I could probably be easily ID’d with all the info I’ve given on the boards too. What makes me unique currently is that I’m the oldest person in my classes. Advertising’s a young profession and I’m comparatively creaky at the ripe old age of 36. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/unique-things-about-you/398554.md?page=2)
