SomethingClever Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 So I work in Residential Life at a university, which involves a lot of trainings, which involve a lot of getting to know you activities. I did one today that I quite enjoyed, in which we had to go around and say our name and out most useless talent. It was quite entertaining. Mine, for example, is:My name is SomethingClever, and I can name all 19 Duggars in age order in one breath. Link to comment
Dusty15 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Oh that's a terribly useless talent! hahaI can't think of mine....hmm....I try not to cultivate useless talents but I CAN tell you a good deal of useless trivia. So maybe my talent is for that.I'm also REALLY talented at walking into things/misjudging where my feet should go! Link to comment

darkness-is-the-light Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I'm also REALLY talented at walking into things/misjudging where my feet should go! Yes!!! Me too!! Umm... I can count to ten in Spanish... I guess that's a talent? I can eat a whole bag of chips in less than an hour, that's probably just implying that I'm a junk food fanatic even though I don't really eat chips, lol. Link to comment

Anonymouse Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I can touch my nose with my tongue.Not my talent, but my aunt and my cousin can make musical fart sounds with their hands. They play "Happy Birthday" at every birthday party with their hands. Link to comment
PuddinPop Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Like Spoo, I can also wiggle my ears.I can also get my foot in my mouth. How I found this out recently I have no idea Link to comment
Dusty15 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Oh!! I forgot about ear wiggling and nostril flaring and tongue curling. I can do it all.I also have this weird thing where I cross my eyes and then make them shake weirdly. People say it looks spooky awesome. Link to comment
Joal 555 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I can name every Doctor Who story title in order from 1970 onwards right upto the 23 November 2013, for which the episode title has been revealed (this is TV episodes only - not books, audios or other media). The list gets longer every year.I used to be able to do the 1960s episodes as well but I get a bit hazy with the Troughton era, need to refresh my memory on those!It's all completely pointless of course, but I enjoy being able to do it nonetheless.

smooshi Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Ummmm... well I can... ummm... curse in Latin? That's not really an useful skill, is it? Link to comment
NorthernLady Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I can blink one eye at a time. It would be useful if I was living in Doctor Who and confronted with weeping angels but alas, I'm not And when I really want to impress somebody (usually when I'm drunk, can't see myself doing this without a few pints in) I can blink my eyes to the rhythm of a song. Pretty marvelous, I know Link to comment
March Hare Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 ...I can cross my eyes and then uncross only one of them. Link to comment

And I can do some freaky-ass thing with my wrist. When I clench my hand into a fist, my wrist seems to dint inwards for some reason.I tried to get a picture, but it looks a lot better IRL On the left is my normal wrist, then on the right is my freaky dented wrist Link to comment

SneezeGirl Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Well, I'm not sure if you could even call this a talent but I can get my top arm's elbow past to the other side of my head. Link to comment
