I can read Choc's mind!! Jk I got this idea from Xen's thread New trick. Anyway my question is this. What special thing can you do for example do those weird things with your tounge what!? I use to be able to mimic voices very very well when I was 9. Sadly I haven't practiced for a long time and I could not do it. But I can do something which I don't understand why people find it so amazing as to litterly stand on my toes. No tippy toes but like on my toes toes you gotta see it to see what I mean. Anyway what can you do?

Xen 09-30-2003 04:07 PM

I can do (almost) all the Nike tricks with the ball...
Other good things:
I can fart real loud... :D :D :D

I have full control of my fingers: I can bend only my fingertops!!

Strangely enough, people tend to react badly towards it .... :(

Oh yeah, in 2 months, I'll be doing my cameo on Cirque Du Soleil! :D

I can mimic voices really well, thats about it. I have also mastered the art of bone cracking. On my own free will, I can make any one of my fingers or toes crack. Its odd to explain, but I can kinda put the bone out of place, and when I put it back in, it cracks, if that helps at all for a description. Although the doc says I shouldn't be doing that...

SpiritWarrior 09-30-2003 05:35 PM

I can consume impossible amounts of alcohol and what's more surprising I get away with it by not getting hangovers most of the time!

I know what you mean. I had a friend who can do that. If you want to play a joke on someone crack your knuckles near their ear. It'll spook em :D

X-men abilities? Hmmm. Does it have to be a body part? Well I have nothing special there except maybe my right leg is just a little taller than my left leg. As for my mind, well, these things happen when I'm asleep: I can leave my body, seriously, aka OBE (out of body experience). Doesn't happen too often but if I am willing, and do the proper preparations (which can be hard to achieve). Also, I hear new music (usually classical) in my sleep. Wished I could write music. And I have had visionary & prophetic dreams. For example, I dreamt about the Gulf War of 1990 about 6 or 8 months before it started. Saw the oilfields on fire, bombing planes overhead, missing reporters found later, the scud missiles, war-torn buildings, tanks, etc. Hell! That was a nightmare for me. Woke up sweating at times. Oh! and recently (actually in 2000) before my move to Seattle, I had dreams of earthquakes near the tacoma and olympia area. I had asked people about if there were any quakes here. well, about four months in seattle, the quake happened when i was working in downtown. I was on the fifth floor working in a hospital. i think i was the first one out of the building. ran like hell. okay enough chatting. just had to get some of that stuff out of my mind. Great topic Sythe. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

I am capable of feeding mags up to level 200 in a day, while taking 3 Colege classes, working on an online RPG, watching 3 DVDs at once, and drawing an online comic. And let's not get started on the flash animations I've made...

SomeGuy 09-30-2003 09:55 PM

I am capable of being really lazy, consuming an entire pizza, and cracking my fingers whenever I want. More, but am too lazy to type it out. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

The Fallen One 09-30-2003 11:14 PM

I can make weird noises and annoy the hell out of almost anyone! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Hivetyrant 09-30-2003 11:24 PM

I can do that thin where you move your eyes left to right reall, really quickly and for quite a long time.
Everyone seems to think it is pretty cool because the other people that can do it get sore eyes very quickly.

Stormymystic 10-01-2003 12:54 AM

hmm, what can I do......I can turn my pinkey finger around 180 degrees, to where the nail is facing outwards from the palm, I can also bend it backwards, and touch the knuckle with it, umm, I can balance a broomstick on any of my fingers and palms, i can read lips, umm, I can bend just the tips of my fingers on my left hand, I can pop my thumbs out of joint, also, I can put my pinkey finger out at a 90 degree angle from my hand, could do a scan of that one maybe [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

shadowhound 10-01-2003 12:57 AM

I have complete control over my eyebrows (can move one at a time, raising one while lowering the other etc.) [img]graemlins/showoff.gif[/img]

Raistlin Majere 10-01-2003 06:43 AM

I have no control of the fingers on my right hand and can't move them sideways.... Thats not a power though is it [img]tongue.gif[/img]

EDIT: OOOOH also, I can wake up instantly. If someone says get up I can go from asleep to on the otherside of the room (awake) within 3 seconds.

You know how some people try to make their hands touch behind their back (One arm over the shoulder, one below and try to make them meet in the middle)? Well I can get a monkey-grip behind my back [img]smile.gif[/img]

If you mean what I think you mean, I can do that too.
I also used to be able to tell small bits of the future in dreams, and predicted the next song to come on the radio a few times.

Stormymystic 10-02-2003 11:35 AM

I know someone, who can put both hands behind their back, turn them straight up, in a prayer postion, and then push his arms straight up his back, until his hands touch his neck, while still together

JrKASperov 10-02-2003 01:10 PM

I have the ability to prove the These of Pythagoras :D

Sir Goulum 10-02-2003 03:01 PM

I can jiggle my eyes back and forth really fast, I can move my pinky toes about an inch and a half away from the rest of my toes, I dreamt about the Star Wars ewoks and the little flyer things before I'd even heard of the movie, and I somehow get 97% on test that I have no clue what to do on [img]tongue.gif[/img]

y'know i never saw that as a talent or ability until i met someone who had trouble controlling one eyebrow to make it lift! i can cross my eyes and leave one looking straight, and i can wiggle my ears individually, without my hands. as well as that eyebrow thing, which i thought was normal til i was 15. i have also had prophetic dreams. i dreamt of having a little girlt hat looks like her daddy, and now i have erilyn may. and anyone who has seen morgie...yes he has dark hair and she has blonde, but he was born blonde! as well as other prophetic things. i can also, sometimes, tell myself when to wake up the ngiht before and wake up on time the next morning.

Hey I can do that to! Funny isn`t it?

RoSs_bg2_rox 10-02-2003 03:46 PM

well i know someone said they have complete control of there eyebrows, iv got that and i have complete control of my ears, can make them move when i want, but thats probably pretty common!

Bruce The Aussie 10-02-2003 04:28 PM

i have the ability to sense when advert breaks are over on the TV and walk back into the room at just the right moment...if if i was out of hearing range of the tv... yes, i do happen to have a psycic uplink to my tv (who i worship everyday)

i can also *censored becuase god know what the hell he was on about...something about quake 3 but its mostly 1337 gibberish...*

well..other then that i'm talentless......

T/-/alali 10-02-2003 08:28 PM

Alot of times I predict things the night before it happens. Like if I have a dream about my dog that night, chances are he'll die the next day.

I also have the power to eat insane amounts of food, and I know like three different fighting styles, including highschool wrestling [img]tongue.gif[/img] .

lucius tiberus maximus 10-02-2003 10:42 PM

Yaa ive got the power to set a mental alarm clock and can wake up withn 3 minutes of the time a wanted to and I have tested it, also if there is any movement at all in the room I wake up instantly.

OOO 10-03-2003 12:45 AM

I can sleep for 20 hours straight, without being dead drunk or dead tired.

Not really a useful talant...

If asked a question that I do not know the answer too, I can answer in such a way as to make the person asking the question think I answered them, or at least talk so long they forget the question, thus avoiding answering the question I do not know the answer too. My co-workers tell me they know I am doing it because my voice goes into info-mercial mode.

I work retail, so that IS a useful talant ;)

[img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img] haha! funny stuff. Howdy fellow Texan. I had lived in Texas most of my life. Now I'm in the great northwest where it's ALOT cooler. Thank Buddha for that. :D

Ronn_Bman 10-03-2003 07:39 PM

I can make a "bamfing" noise while unexpectantly bringing forth a stenchy, sulfurous(some say it's more like methany) cloud.
[img]graemlins/lightning.gif[/img]
I don't *technically* teleport during this exercise, but I do find myself significantly removed from those who had been in close proximity prior to this display of my mutant ability.

The use of this ability consumes alot of energy, and as such, I cannot just use this power at any time I choose. It is somewhat conditional. I have to have eaten Mexican food, there must have been guacamole involved, and I MUST have drank at least six beers with that meal. Six is ideal... more than twelve and people start getting hurt. :(

It is an awesome freak of nature to behold. [img]graemlins/moon.gif[/img]

To the best of my knowledge, only Lord of Alcohol has an ability featuring more *raw* power than my own, but I'll leave that for him to explain. ;) :D

Is that the power to rapidly translocate, internalise and metabolise ethanol based liquids contained in vitrious or metallic containers? I've heard that he will demonstrate this astounding ability for anyone who will provide him with the necessary commercially available components ;)

Of course I remember, I chose to highlighted one power amongst many for fear that revealing the full extent of his magnificence might drive some of our more sensitive members to despair as they realise that, though they might aspire to greatness, Lord of Alcohol's phenominal abilities are unattainable to mere mortals :D

And you're absolutely right, of course, I bow to your superior insight oh Mighty Rodent! I hope I have not mangled the poor fragile souls of any of our members by hinting at the inimitable Lord of Alcohol's supreme illustriousness - I should have realised the full scope of his powers is simply too daunting and intimidating for lesser mortals to contemplate, and that this unthinking display of his pre-eminence might indeed cause a great sense of inferiority and futility in others...
