    What is a strange talent you have? The question came to me just now because I was sitting here and fly was buzzing around, and my strange talent is that I can catch flies outta mid-air. It is a pretty entertaining talent, and it impresses people when you show them. Usually what I do is catch them and slam them against a table. Apparently my grandfather used to do it too.

    I play guitar upside down and backwards. Kinda like Jimi Hendrix. He played a right-handed guitar, but STRUNG IT lefty. I play a right-handed guitar, left-handed, but I keep it strung right-handed. Basically, if you play a right-handed guitar, I pick it up and play it left-handed.

    Show me ANY clip (not even actors) of ANY movies I ever saw no matter how obscure, and I can instantly say which movie it is. Very fast visual recognition.

    If it were possible to make a living by whistling, I'd be a pro. I can whistle both breathing in and out, so I never have to stop for breath.

    I can sneer using either side of my mouth. Only met a few people who can do that.

    My Dad was the only person I ever saw who could do this - stand with your heels together, back against the wall. Your heels, bum etc should be touching the wall, and your legs together. Got it? Now, keeping your knees straight, bend over at the waist and touch your toes.......without falling over.

    Good luck,

    Neil

    When I'm biking or running and vehicles pass me, I can tell if the occupants are smoking - even when their windows are closed.

    I must be part dog.

    I think we might be related...


    Gus and Darth can have an entire conversation using only direct quotes from movies - that's talent... Jeremiah (Bullfrog) has won every "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" challenge I've thrown at home - including Michael Jackson and Hillary Duff...! Name a year and Bruce can tell you who won the World Series, the Super Bowl, the NBA Championship and the Stanley Cup that year; he can also tell you what song was number one that year, too...

    I have a friend who can do the same thing. He is a lefty but give him a right handed guitar (or bass) and he can play it as is. I heard he even once did the same thing with a mandolin. He just doesn't play riffs but chords also...pretty neat trick.

    Eye can do the 'eye shake' thing too. Its cool, but hurts if I do it more than a few seconds.

    I can also place my hand on a surface and rotate it a little beyond 360 degrees.

    I can put my right arm behind my neck, than wrap it 'round the front and touch the bottom of my right ear...
    That's quite hard to explain without showing it :)
