I laughed at the video game part.

I can pick shit up with my feet.

Well I'm glad I'm not the only person that has a talent for making balloon animals. x'D
Though I'm not sure that's an entirely useless talent, especially if you have kids.

I can put my whole fist in my mouth, that's reasonably useless I suppose.

I can peel a clementine in one piece and whistle with vibrato.
I am amazingly flexible. I can do a split and put my foot on my head. Oh wait, that's not relatively useless. . . can come in quite handy.

I can write things backward with a forward slant. Completely useless, but it's useful when the conversation starts to lull.

When I rub my eyes the squeak. They make this windshield-wiper-on-a- dry-windshield kind of noise that is so loud it can be heard across the room, even if there are other noises. I loved making that sound in high school and confusing the teachers

I also can bend my thumb so it is completely parallel to my wrist and arm, and it looks like it's broken because of the way the joint pops out, and I used to freak people out by having my best friend grab my hand and do that, so they think she broke it

I do have a talent that isn't TOTALLY useless....but not important lol. I have a high tolerance for alcohol, so much so, that I used to go to bars and make bets that I could drink some of the heavy drinkers under the table, and did! I made some good $ off of it for a while, but I don't drink often enough for it to be a real "profit maker", because I don't like feeling buzzed, and I'm sure I wouldn't like feeling drunk or the hangovers that come with it. So nowadays, this talent only has use when my hubby who is more than twice my weight and almost twice my size and I drink, and he giggles (...in a very MANLY way, of course) about how much more than him I can drink and still have to put him to bed

And sometimes stuff that I write in my stories happens in real life. >_>
Ugh, I know what you mean about things you write happening in reality, at least to an extent.
A lot of times, I'll have dreams that end up coming true the next day, or my mother and I will have identical dreams on the same night.

That's impressive! My only hope of solving a rubik's cube would be to take it apart and reassemble it (solved). lol

Me too! Actually, I can twist all of my fingers so they're curled over the back of the one next to them (pinky over ring finger, ring finger over middle, etc) and then put my thumb behind my hand. I think it looks really neat, but everyone who sees it thinks it's gross and freaky. lol

I am double jointed so my elbows and knees go backwards. I can also... lick my elbow. Yeah, that joke email about trying to lick your elbow? I didn't get it because I could do it.
