My one and only claim to fame, sort of. When I was brought home from the hospital a few days after my birth, it was in a car that is now displayed in the Aerospace Museum in San Diego. At least, I _think_ it’s still there… ---

Are there any other left-handed computer programmer dopers in the Isle of Man? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by cuauhtemoc \* > \*\*I am the only doper without a single trait unique to myself. \*\* I was going to post something like this, but you beat me too it. A bit like my favourite bit in Life of Brian where Brian is yelling at the crowd out of his window to get them to go away. He says “you’re all different”, the crowd chant back as one “YES, WE’RE ALL DIFFERENT…”, one lone voice pipes up: “i’m not.” 😃 ---

I’ve got a new one: I might be the only doper who can call every single piece of her furniture by its first name. Good night, Billy! Good night Axel!\* (Bless you, IKEA)\* ---

i’m the only Flemish doper here, as far as I can see. I live in Ireland, but I’m not Irish, see 🙂 ---

I _think_ I’m the only doper, nay, the only (former) military person in the world, to have been a ‘worldwide volunteer’ for over a year to not receive an assignment. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-makes-you-a-unique-doper/165688.md?page=4)
