I thought about this the other day and just now got around to making a topic.
I was having a discussion with friends at work, and we were laughing about our weird talents. Some could fold their tongue, fold their eyelids, and other things of that nature.
I for one can make an excellent purring sound like a cat, and can also burp on command. I can't really explain how I do either, I just can. I don't even remember how I figured out I could.
So, that made me curious if any of you have any weird or different talents that you'd like to share. Maybe I'm not the only one I know who can do those things? Haha.

[Sweeney]

Two of my friends bought a house from the money they make on online video... that's a pretty weird talent.

I was thinking more bodily talents, but yeah that's different.


So they make porn then?

[Maloo]

I can do a pretty good impression of a chicken LOL
And I can open my nostrils really fast hahha

[Rainie]

The only thing that I can think of is that I cry incredibly easily (I've cried from seeing other people cry and even just a picture of it), although I really wouldn't call it a talent x) ~
..I'm incredibly flexible though? Idunno /weird-talent-less ;x;

Edit: Well, if non-physical talents are to be counted I can (or at least, used to be able to) recite the first ~1500 digits of pi
(I realize that the number is insignificant compared to Akira Haraguchi/etc.. although given that I was 12 at the time of the recital I'm still pretty proud cX~)

[Yolo]

I'm an ambidextrous hula-hooper. That's the only weird talent I can think of =/

[Maeghan]

I can correctly identify over 200 breeds of dogs.

[nymh]

I know a lot about eyeballs

Besides that um...

I can touch my nose with my tongue, and put both feet behind my head, and do the splits. I can do taco tongue, and blow bubbles with my spit

[James]

I'm double jointed in my left index finger.

I'm so interesting.

I can do both of those things, and now I can't think of anything else.

1500 digits at age 12? That's pretty impressive

[soul__stealer]

I can dislocate my right thumb for laughs. I used to be able to do my left one as well, but someone stood on my hand when I had it dislocated one day and ever since then I couldn't do it anymore...

Lol at all the girls being flexible... I thought most girls were pretty flexible

[Jabberwock]

I can hug myself and touch fingers. I can do the splits and kick people in the face. I can bend my thumb at a 90 degree angle, and I can bend all my fingers back a little further than that...and lots more. I guess flexibility isn't all too weird/different, but I think it's cool


I'm also a master at beer pong.

[Plunk]

Both my pinkies are double-jointed, I'm pretty good at impersonating voices, when I was younger I was at such an accelerated learning level I was having my daily work sent from the middle school to me in first grade. I've also been told I make a mean trollface. Oh, and I can pop my jaw and the fingers on my right hand continuously.

[onlyme]

i am kinda good at immitating weird personalities. like dori from finding nemo or several german comedians. i also can roll my tongue, touch my nose with my tongue, move my ears and nostrils, make cat and chickennoises and so on. guess i have just too much time to practice that shit.

hahaha yeah plunk, your trollface is def your most awesome weirdest talent!

[chini]

I can make myself sneeze whenever I want.

THAT'S cool now! i am jelly. sneezing cracks me up.

That sounds amazing. Does it feel like a sneeze, too? For me, sneezes feel like a very low-grade orgasm. To do that at will... Well, very interesting.

As for my own "talent": I can make my eyeballs vibrate, make the pupils shiver around super quickly. Nothing that'll make me rich, but it really creeps people out. So that's fun.

[Adina]

I am extremely double jointed but I wouldn't call that a talent, it's more of an annoying curse.

I can make dinosaur sounds.

I can lucid dream. I consider that a talent because I actually had to work for it, it never just happened for me.

I honestly don't really have any weird talents, or talents for that matter.

Does this mean you know Charlie McDonnel too? o.o

My weird talent is that I can do impressions well; which isn't that weird, but not many people can do so many voices and accents

hell yeah your accent impressions are sooooooooooooooooooooooo awesome! haven't heard one in a while! i want!

[Stitches]

I can lick my elbow by popping my shoulder out! Not supposed to be physically possible. At least I used to be able to, haven't tried in awhile and I'm not as flexible as I used to be.

I'm double jointed in most of my fingers so I can fold over the top section... what else? I can fold my tongue, but that's pretty common. Idk I'm pretty boring lol.

I am SO fucking jealous!
I can do it if I twist a tissue and stick the pointy bit up my nose, but I don't think that counts

It's apparently the equivalent to 1/8 of an orgasm

That must look fucked up Your arm would have to twist so far round...

[redlion]

Err, I don't consider it a talent, but I can pull my arms abnormally far behind my head. Like, almost touching the inside of one elbow to the opposite shoulder. I think I might be double jointed at the shoulder, but I've never bothered to confirm this. How does one do so anyway?

Just checked in the mirror and there is about an inch, maybe an inch and a half of space between when I stretch. I haven't stretched properly in years though, so I may have lost flexibility if indeed it's a flexibility thing.

[chipmunk]

I can touch my tongue to my nose and I can roll one eye around while the other stays in one place..... but I cant do both at the same time

[Inver]

I can touch my tongue to my noes and lift one eyebrow. It's a pretty boring talent.

... I can read palms. Is that better?
