tell us something unusual

Yeah yeah, we can all talk about when we first discovered the Cats, our location, how old we are, our families, our pets... that's all standard. Tell us something weird, unusual, surprising or cool about yourself. Examples:

I'm left handed, but I'm learning guitar right handed.

I cannot see in 3D.

S'trewth!

Well I already said I can juggle (4 balls and counting) but that's not nearly unusual enough..

I can also swallow a long piece of spaghetti but make one end come out my nose with the other end coming out my mouth, and then I do the whole tug and pull.. well how else am I meant to get my snoz squeeky clean...and yes, I still swallow the spaghetti after I do it

What a coincidence. I am left handed but cannot play guitar left handed, I tried, doesn't work.

Haha yes I am, next time I eat spaghetti I'll take a picture

Another interesting fact, I like to go to really old cemeteries (ones that have graves from the 1800's) and walk around for hours, taking photos, reading headstones. I recently read 'The Mayne Inheritance' which is a true story about the Mayne family, a very well known family in Brisbane (for all the wrong reasons) between 1860's and 1930's.. All the Mayne have long since gone and they were all buried in the Mayne family tomb which was erected in 1888. More than 100 years later the tomb is in immaculate condition as the University of Queensland has looked after it as the Mayne family donated the money for the land (around 80,000 pounds in 1920's) in which the University now stands. Anyway, this weekend I am going to the Toowong cemetery to look at the tomb and the Toowong cemetery itself as it was one of the first cemeteries in Brisbane. As you can see, I find this higly intriguing.

Peanuts. I know a guy who does that with a.....sit tight...condom.
Sick!!!

This topic is going in all the wrong directions

My useless talent is I can french braid hair & reverse french braid (where the braid sits on top of your hair instead of underneath--gals I hope you know what I'm talking about).
Anyway, my talent goes wasted as God has blessed me with two charming, handsome young men. One of whom thinks they need a hair cut about every 2 weeks.

I am a salsa dancin' fool...

I can change a spark plug, air filter, change the oil in the lawn mower, change the mower blade, program the DVR, I like to play pool, but I HATE spiders and I bribe my children to kill them for me, and to save my life I cannot make a decent batch of gravy. And I have insomnia.

I can smell colors.

I hitchhiked from Los Angeles California to Miami Florida as a teenager oh and I can make a real good elephant noise

I can hide a pencil in my Pompadour

Haha yes they do, I started stretching my left ear when I was about 13.. I haven't stretched it for over a year now.. don't really intend to.. also don't intend on stretching my right ear, so I have lopsided ears

You do have freaky thumbs

Good stuff...

I am in fact a red headed step child who has the ambidextrous thing going: write, play tennis left handed and bowl, golf and play baseball right.

I am really into paranormal. I read all the books and watch all the shows on ghosts that I can.

Can do a triple tongue curl.

I was a profesional rock'n'roll dancer but I also do Tribal Belly dance! ... and I used to play in a girls rockabilly band in the 80's!

I ran my first 2 marathons before turning 18, 3rd at 21, then got injured and haven't run long distance since.

now i am mildly out of shape

my wife can put the tip of her tongue in to her nose .....just like a cow can do !
