So you are talented, too. Congratulations!
When you figure out how we can make a buck on this talent, please let me know. Maybe we can take our act on the road?
I can wiggle my kneecaps up and down while standing. Everyone I’ve felt I could ask (in other words, people who wouldn’t look at me weird or run away) can’t do it.
I can also rapidly bounce/vibrate my knees up and down, while sitting, for extended periods of time, without making any conscious effort to keep it going.
I can make my tongue undulate or ripple.
I can talk to dolls and they answer me.
Sometimes they do my bidding.
I can touch my tongue to my nose. Right on the tip. Not that I do it often, mind. Only when drunk and when begged to by my friends.

JLPicard: yes, I can (sometimes) hear the anti-shoplifting equipment in department stores, but I’ve never had that actually be painful. Is that a common occurance for you, or was it an abberation?
I can dance in the dark.
I often dance blindfolded, to help concentrate on where my feet are without moving my head to look.
I can too. In fact, I can tell if someone is watching TV if I walk by a house. Once, when I in twelfth grade, I walked into my trig class, and asked my teacher if there was a computer on anywhere. He thought I was crazy, but upon closer inspection, discovered that one of the little-used very old computers in the classroom was, in fact, on. He made me turn around and flipped the monitor switch on and off and I told him which way it was. He was extremely impressed.
Oookay . . .

I can play music on my throat, cheeks (as in near my mouth) and head, so far. I haven’t tried with my eyelids yet, though my brother (same one as in the other thread) is getting decent at stringing notes together on his. And by music I mean you can tell what song it is.
-
I can hold myself in a horizontal position as long as I want. Think pushup but with your elbows near your kidneys and your hands splayed out a bit past your waist. I can seriously hold this for minutes at a time once I have myself properly set up.
-
I can burp on command with no liquid beforehand. I don’t know if that’s common but I know of only three other people (all related) who can do that.
-
As Brunetter knows, I can, usually by the time the first verse is done, have a harmony for that melody line completely up. It is a rare song that eludes my musical grasp in this respect.
-
Not a neat thing, but I can do a funky adaptation of the claw from LiarLiar.
-
I can make my head vibrate.
-
I can make my scalp move in two directions simultaneously, though not the way you think. You all can do that as well, though.
-
I know there are people who can do this better than I can, but I have done in excess of 150+ pushups in a row. I forget the actual number but it was a good size. BTW the world record is over 8,000.
That’s about all I can think of for now.
I kin reach around behind my head and cup my jaw. Try it, only people I know who can do this are family members.
I kin make my eyes move independently - look to the left, turn my left eye inward so I’m looking cross-eyed, then turn my right eye outward so I’m looking to the right. Really freaks people out.
I kin whip the tip of my tongue up and down incredibly fast. This last one is my only talent with a functional purpose

Hey, we must be separated at birth. I can do this one too!!
My talents:
- photographic memory–I made perfect scores on high school final exams without cracking a book all year. Also, if I say “I read somewhere that…”, you can be 98% sure of it.
- Target shooting–Really weird since I’m left-handed, but I’m actually pretty good with pistols and most rifles (except for those stupid “bullpup” stocks that place the action directly beside your head, they tend to put the red-hot brass into a southpaw’s ear)
- explosives–no comment
If each side of the brain controls the opposite side of the body, then only left-handed people are in their right minds. 
I can spell pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis and floccinaucinihilipilification.
I can hum and whistle at the same time, producing a bagpipe-like noise.
I use my beard to stimulate nipples.
I make the best dip you ever tasted.
I can recite, in order, the stations on every line of the Montreal metro.
I am undefeated at Capitals of Countries, matching symbols to elements on the periodic table, and matching plots to episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Well, I can flip a waiter’s tray completely around ( Right side up, upside down, rightside up) with a dish on it and not spill the dish, drop it or the tray. Ask anyone who was at the B-more/DC dopefest last weekend.
my god swimmingriddles, it’s one surprise after another with you. so can you fold your tounge in a clover shape while reciting The Jabberwocky AND shaking your booty african dance style? i’d buy that for a dollar!
matt_mcl:
is the pneumo word different from pneumonicultramicroscopicsilicavulcaniconiosis?
This one isn’t so much a talent, but I have 20/10 vision, which will come in handy should I ever want to cheat in school. I can also read just about anyone’s handwriting, which comes from A. having shitty handwriting, and B. reading my father’s shittier handwriting.
I can also (and this is an admission of experimentation) store things in . . . ah . . . places the sun don’t reach. For periods of time exceeding three hours. This would probably come in mighty handy for drug trafficking and storing keys for a pair of handcuffs, or a hairpin, ir money, or whatever.
Iam: You misspelled it.
Yours: pneumonicultramicroscopicsilicavulcaniconiosis
Right: pneumon**o** ultramicroscopicsilic**o**v**o**lcan**o**coniosis
Look it up.
I can whistle blowing out or sucking in.
Hmmm…thinks
I’m a chat ho, does that count? And I can sing damn near any Indigo Girls song from memory.
I am COMPLETELY stunned that no one has commented on this yet. Obfusciatrist … how do you EVER have time for the SDMB?
Punha and I share this talent. I earned the nickname “Harmony Whooore” from my friends as “I’d do ANYTHING for harmony …”
I can improvise Shakespeare, usually in rhymed couplets.
My other talent is in impromptu speaking. If you ever did college speech, you know that you generally receive a quotation (or two) and must both prepare and deliver the speech inside of 7 minutes. I usually was ready in about 20 seconds with a wide range of topics.
