I can wiggle my ears.

I can stick out my tung and touch my arse..

I could at one time remember up to 51 random numbers after looking at them for 10 seconds. I remember every phone number we ever had. Something about numbers. I have a lousy memory when it comes to anything else though.

"Oh washing dishes ironing making beds (dont do bed pans) cleaning carpets changing the battery s on the TV remote for the wife as she lies on the sofa .Feel sorry for her she looks so tired lying there

Why I can wiggle my nose, write with my toes, &.......talk to the animals!

I can cure hiccups.  OH YES, I CAN!  I have witnesses because I cured a patient when I worked in the doctor’s office ... many other people too.

Thanks guys..I just choked myself. cough..cough..cough..araaaagh

I can pick things up with my toes, saves bending down

I, like Ed Shank, remember numbers, but I don't remember faces. I can know someone fairly well and still not recognize them when they are at a place where I don't expect them. Very embarrassing at times.

bob i don't if it is really a natural talent.  when i was in high school i was not a good reader or writer.  i went to junior college and took writing classes.  my teacher thought i was a great writer.  i am a good persausive writer. one book that motivated me was called "the retoric of no".  I have read so many books on so many topics its not funny.  I love biographies, self help, psychology, child care, hand writing analysis, astrology, religious books, history, health care, you name it.    i worked with a man named bill when i was 22.  he was about 34 and would take about 20 books a week out of the library. i said, i wish i could read that many books.  what i discovered was that i could read very rapidly when i was standing up reading a book or magazine in a store,  i started studyiing why that was and how could i develop that skill of rapid reading.  through personal study. i got to the point where i was a speed reader.  i may go into barnes and nobles and pick out 6 books and read them all within about 3  hours.  its the brain and how you train it.  one problem is its insasible with me.  i can never read enough.  when i was in college i got bored because things moved too slow.  i dropped out of graduate school and went directly the school bookstore and bought 10 books to read at my own pace and not have to take test on what i learned.  when i gradutated from college i took a psychology exam for the county in san mateo, ca.  I was one of the top 10 people to get a job as a counselor for the county.  Psychology is easy for me and i love it.  (what makes people tick)  that test was so easy for me.  i tell kids that have a hard time learning how to read.  Read what interest you and you will become a good reader.  that's one of the things i did.   i love to read!!! but i think what really motivates me is that i love people and love knowing what make us all tick.

i can read a book in an hour.

I can recite: I'M A SHEET SLITTER, I SLIT SHEETS, I'M THE BEST SHEET SLITTER THAT EVER SLIT A SHEET  drunk or sober.  I've had 52 years if practice......

bob, that incredible!!!!!

thanks bob. i am still counseling.  i have always read with and tutored kids. i even worked at a group home with gang boys.  we read in circles during the evening.  our bible at that particular home was a book called, how to be a gentleman.  i encouraged all the kids to help each other when they did not know a word.  we read out loud. it was fabulous.  all my 6 boys in this house learned and took pride in looking and acting like gentlemen, at home and in public.  well except for if two got into a fight.  another counselor once commented to me, 'something is different about your boys they seem so polite. the atmosphere of your house seems so different."  they were great. but bob you should take your talent on tv. maybe get an agent. to be able to write upside and backwards and repeat the alphabet backwards is absolutely GENIUS.  People would  be facinating by such feats. Truly amazing!

Im pretty much useless but can touch my nose with the tip of my tongue if its relevant..

Saves on kleenex.

and that upside and backwards writing.  i want to see you do that on tv.  maybe post it onto u-tube.  i think you could get famous with such an unusual skill.  maybe contact simon of x-factor. get on j leno.  people would be amazed to see you do these things.  oprah had a show once with people that had unusual talents.  a pretty lady like you was on and she could talk like animals.  a millionaire saw her and married her.  oprah showed her wedding on her show.  see there.  some beautiful man may love your skills.  then you kill 'two birds with one stone'. mucho luck to you bob! & even tho you 'kept shuffling',  it did show that people want to see people do magical things like that.

One more , I can tell what just about anything is by smell ; somethings on fire- I know whats burning, cooking something- I know whats in it, spill or over flowed on the ground- I can tell you if it from your radiator or engine, cars emitting something -burning oil , blown head gasket kind of stuff. nose is too sensitive,Bad  smells incompasitate me.

But the one gift I DONT have is the gift of spelling!

OK kind of morbid but I didnt pick them. I know before someone dies,and I either know the day before we have an earthquake or I wake up about 1 minute before it happens knowing .

desert_prence that's great. maybe you should consider contacting the geological association. (not sure of name). i just saw tv show last week. they have spent millions and are still not that close to any reliable prediction of earthquakes.  you may be aware if something and/or tuned into something that could aid them in their search.  never know.

desert_prencess thanks. i was being serious.  But, as M.C. Hammer once said, "It's all good!"  that's why the world is the world.  we can all pretty much be who we are, do what we like, say what we feel, have what ever kind of sense of humor we have.  beautiful.
