Don't be disgusting! Not those talents!  I mean odd little stuff that is useful or just interesting. For instance, I can wake myself without an alarm clock - and I work different hours several days a week. I haven't used one for over 15 years now. Anyone else?

I don't know as I have any talents that anyone here would find interesting, but one of the girls in my club can curl her feet up into the equivalent of a fist and stand and jump on that "fist" It makes me shudder every time I see her do it.

back in the good old days of AIDS paranoia in the 80's, schools gave out condoms like politicians dish out lies. at 13 we were knee deep in comlimentary rubbers, and strangely enough, absolutely devoid of any females charitable enough to let us use them as they were intended. This lead to diversification of use, including water bombs, inflating them over our heads, chasing girls around the yard 'twanging' them with them (much better range than an elastic band), and of course the gross-out 'nasal floss' trick.
Being a kid absolutely rocked

I knew a guy in elementary school that could drink his milk through his nose. I couldn't sit anywhere near him during lunch because it would gross me out. Now for myself, I used to (before I had kids) be able to kick my leg up and catch it then drop into the splits without letting go of my leg.

I can move my adam's apple up and down freakishly fast and, I don't know if you'd call this a talent, but I'm very creative when it comes to figuring out stuff to do when my crazy friends and I are bored. Check it out. http://youtube.com/watch?v=oRiYuJ2nXuk&mode=related&search=yes, this was also done on the same day as the other post with me jumping out of the garbage can, freaking out that car as it drove by.

I can pick up things with my toes. My feet are virtually another pair of hands.  By the way, that kid that played with the dead animal will get owned by the opossum gods of karma. They dislike those who play with the bodies of their dead.

I can pick up things too with my toes and I can pinch people with my toes too. It's a talent developed through necessity. My mom was able to pinch with her toes and you couldn't sit on the couch with her because she would pinch you especially if you were sharing a blanket wih her on the couch. You either learned how to pinch back or didn't sit on the couch with her.

I have long toes (my second toe is as long as my pinky finger), but I can barely flex them, let alone pick things up with them.
I can juggle, though. Not really strange, but, you know...

Strange talents? I can literally clap with one hand. ...that probably qualifies. I always liked the paradox of being able to literally answer "what is the sound of one hand clapping?" you'd have to see/hear it to believe it, but I'm serious.

I can hang from something (monkey bars, tree limb, whatever) by my feet. I invert my body and put my feet over the branch, monkey bar, or whatever and then lock me feet and hang by my feet. The object is positioned between my toes and instep and I hang there with my body laid out straight with head toward the ground.
Trick learned from childhood (Spiderman kind of thing).

Well, this may not be a talent, but I can run full speed at a wall and headbut it without much pain. And I can also skull a 3 litre chocolate milk. And I can smash beer bottles over my head too. I am just a legend

Strange or funny talents ... hmmm. Not really anything per say. My right hand when ever I make a fist my fingers crack loudly. If I open and close it repeatedly I can endlessly make it crack. When grabbing people in class it surprises some.
I once got my fist in my mouth, though I dread to try that again. I drank a 26 ounce vodka bottle in one go that took less then 30 seconds. I can live on next to no sleep with averaging 3-4 hours a night and have been doing this since a youth; though I do many times take a 10 to 15 minute nap after supper on week nights prior to going to class.
I have an extremely high pain thresshold, which probably comes with living with so many pains.
Nothing special.

After reading these posts, I realized I'm multi-talented:
I can pick up with my toes (size 13 feet help)
I can clap with one hand
My ears can wiggle together or independently

I can climb onto just about anything. I can do one handed 3 finger pressups.
I can do a decent Irish, Scottish or English accent.
That's about it I guess. Besides being really, really good with kids and animals.

My friends tell me I can imitate Beavis perfectly, (I think I can too) "I am Cornholio, I need tp for my bunghole" Yes, I actually practice it as well, why I'm not embarassed by it is beyond me.
