useless talents
I was watching the movie planet terror and someone talks about useless talents. Im pretty sure we all have useless talents. At the moment i know of 2 kinda weird useless talents. The first one is a clicking noise i can do with my tongue that makes me sound like a dolphin lol. No one else can do it but its probably due to my jaw that is too far back and a bit crooked. The second talent is a recently discovered talent. I recently had nose surgery and i was wiggling my nose and realized i could make it move just like a rabbits nose. I was never able to do it before then.
Whats yours?

I can accurately smoke and dial a phone with my feet https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif
I can write (not well) with my feet…
so can do stuff with my feet? LOL!

I can pop my ear drums on command without yawning or coughing. I have complete and total control of the bone or muscles or whatever it is that makes the ear drum crackle when you pop it. It’s freaked out my family doctor and anyone else who’s looked at my ear drums.
I can also lace my hands infront of me, and then through shoulder mobility and some bendy elbows get them behind me in the locked handcuff postion without unlacing my hands. Might be a useful talent….if I were ever arrested…

I can fix candles. If the wick has issues or something like that. I mess with it untill it will burn correctly. I can fix tunneling candles as well. I had an ex that called me a candleologist. LOL!!!

I can make pig noises. The little snorting sounds from deep in my throat, not the squealing. I don't share this with many people.
-
This is so much fun! thanks for sharing 🙂

I can touch my nose with my tongue.

Very funny and useless;) thread!
I can, in the same way as we cross our middle finger over our index finger, cross my ring finger over the middle one without helping out with the other hand or so, on both hands.
-
Brilliant thread!
I have pretty flexible shoulders and can put sun cream on my whole back without any assistance lol, it gets a few funny looks on holiday! I can also bend the tip of each finger backwards almost 90 degrees (my mum can do it to 90 on each finger)

I can touch my nose with my tongue, make a 3 leaf clover out of it, make a bathtub shape, make it belly dance, and rotate it 180 degrees both ways (most people can't get their non dominant side to turn) I also can sunscreen myself and eat a bowl of cereal with my feet lol. I can make gang signs with my toes without arranging them with my hands. I can hoop on my forhead (as in, head hooping, not hooping whilst standing on my head, though I can foot hoop very well, if only I could get some stands (elbow, forearm, I don't care) I can blow bubbles with my eyes while under water. I can bend my fingers at just the last joint (the nail joint) while keeping my hands and fingers straight. I make doll house toilet paper out of straw wrappers. I like making chains and necklaces out of bubble gum paper, but they don't make gum the same anymore. I can write really REALLY small.

D Luxx: You're completely useless;)! I'm just curious since I didn't understand the forehead hooping, could you explain that further?
BTW I can also turn my tounge 180 degrees both ways:)
-
Just hooping around my head lol. Above the eyes, below the hairline, just hooping on my head lol! There are videos on youtube of some other people doing it. I think Nick Guzzardo and Khan are both hoopers that do it often. Lately I've been working on nose hooping. Looking up at the sky, and hooping around my nose.

Debs – Hahaha I can do the same!! My BF always tells me, that I should charge money, when I put sunscreen on my back. People alwaus stare! Do you twist your arms aswell? So that the palm of your hands is facing your back? I've only met one other person who could do this, and she could only do it with the outher back of her hand..
Other than that, I can bend my thumb, so it lays aross my wrist, turn my tonque upside down, I can twist my knee almost all around, which means I can put my foot on my head, even though I cant do splits, shake my right eyeball, I can make tricks with poker jetons.. Im sure there is more…
Also, once I was at this circus workshop with my niece, and I had to try the flying plates for the frist time. I ended up balancing 5 at the same time, in my first try, and the owner actually offered me a job in his circus act. 😀

Steffie – I use the palm yeah (just had to try it to see ha!)! I can do the thumb to wrist thing too but it's not as easy as it used to be!
-
I use my palms too. (I went through the motions to see lol) I go right arm back, left arm up from the bottom. Switch. Then hug myself to make sure I didn't miss anything or leave streaks lol. I'm one of those that lotions before hitting the sun, so I don't burn, so I've never gotten stares for it. I get warnings from everyone "Oh you're going to have a big red triangle or a white handprint if you try to do that yourself" Psht please lol!!!
It used to be the flexibility test in PE when I was in 3rd grade or so, to try and lock your fingers (bottom hand palm out for that) I can actually reach further twisted palm in… hrm.
-
I had to check now and I would succeed with the lotion on back thing I realized:) Now I know I shouldn't have to ask for help again, great! My palm is almost facing the back, but maybe not completely.
Since this have been a lot about mobility in fingers and other stuff that almost sound like dislocation, do any of you have EDS (Ehler-Danlos syndrome)? I don't (as far as I know and when I read about it, it doesn't really sound like me even if I'm somewhat mobile).
