3. I can poke my shoulderblades out where they look like boobs on
my back.

Pointy, bony boobs....but boobs.

38. Me too.
All your fingers, or just some of them? I can only do that with my thumbs and pinkies.

Also, my right thumb is double-jointed.

And...no, wait, you wanted it clean. Never mind. :evilgrin:

7. I can make my jaw crack at will.
But my mom says if I do it too much I'll get arthritis and have to get my jaw wired shut. :scared:

14. LOL.
My mother told me some thing about like that about my shoulder, too.

I would have never known I was poking out my shoulderblade if my mother hadn't screamed "Eww, don't do that!"

48. That's what I was told about my toe-cracking talent.
Well, not that I'd have to get my jaw wired shut, but the arthritis thing. I don't know if I buy it. Is your mother a doctor?

11. I can fold the tip of my tongue back. It's a totally useless ability.
I can also roll my tongue. I believe that the tongue folding ability is inherited through a recessive gene.

13. Well I'm not really sure it qualifies as a talent. . .
or even if it's even remotely an acquired skill. It's probably more a really peculiarly strange social proclivity.

I dance with a slinky.

But don't tell anyone. . .okay?

21. Several.
I can roll my stomach muscles up-to-down or down-to-up. (The latter not as well.) I've tried side to side with no luck so far.

I can roll my tongue up, both lengthwise and widthwise. I can also flip it over both to the left and the right.

I can touch the tip of my nose with my tongue easily.

I can cross my eyes at will.

I can wiggle my ears, and nose.

I think that's it?

26. Not exactly a talent
but I tick like a clock - due to my artificial heart valve. It's made of steel and it ticks with each beat.

I did get the lifetime guarantee with it though...

29. Lay my arms flat on my shoulder
ie: take the right arm, lift up and behind the head, and then keep going (arm straight all the way) until the right arm is level with my shoulders, pointing left. I can actually keep going till it points down a bit again.

Doesn't hurt a bit but it freaks people out.

Usually they shout "ewww, stop that. Thats not natural"

33. You know that joke: "Can you stick out your tongue and touch your nose?"
Well, I really can. Always brought people to a standstill.

Too bad I wasn't straight; I probably could've made some woman very, very, VERY happy. :) (But I've done OK with the partners I've had, if several of them crying with happiness indicates satisfaction.)

Hey, you ASKED! :) It's not bragging then!

34. I can make 3 distinct sounds with my mouth, all at the same time...
My own voice, of course, and two duck-like "voices" from each cheek. I can fire them all off at once, and can even speak like this.

My wife gets a kick out of it, but she says it's freaky. :scared:

35. I used to work with a woman who could get her whole fist into her mouth...
It was always a big hit with the guys at company happy hours. :shrug:

I don't have any bizarre talents that I can share here. :-)

42. I can catch house flies
with my bare hands then snap them to the floor resulting in death. It is a cruel yet sometimes handy talent and yes, I wash my hands after each execution. I am very popular at picnics.

50. The Hairy Eyeball
My boss hates it. When he gets the hairy eyeball he knows he just said something unbelievably stupid, but doesn't know what.

Says it's intimidating as all get out. :scared:
