Nice thread bump, spammer/sigvertiser. :p (and already gone, *high five* mods)


Errrr, since my last post in this thread I'll also add this remarkable "gift" of mine... the ability to sound like a cartoon character. I've been able to do that with my voice since I can remember. I can also meow very convincingly.
 
I can swim under water for more than 3 minutes, i'll cross a 50mtr length swimmingpool and back and still have air left.

And i always had this crazy idea that i can fly an helicopter without ever taken lessons. Unfortunately nobody is going to let me prove this. I guess taking off and landing with some sort of flightsimulator does not count?

Wow, impressive swimming.

Helicopters are not that easy. Mythbusters tried to fly a simulated plane without success unless they get instructions. Helicopters are even harder.
 
i wouldnt say im good at all, but they are most certainly my "best" points.

1. can play drums with a solid and confident attitude, not fast but "groovey"

2. enjoy computers and have a big interest in networking/etc, so have learnt a lot in a short time

3. have been blessed with semi-coordinality (nerd != coordination, it seems).
 
I've been told I'm a good listener and that I'm easy to talk to. This comes in pretty handy in my profession. :)
Same here. I'm really good at picking up on other people's emotions. I can normally tell what kind of person someone is within the first few minutes of meeting them. This is the main reason why I'm studying Psychology. :)

I have a knack for knowing when girls are upset. Then I console them and cheer them up. I like this knack :p
 
The power of flight.

"I'd rather have a tail I can always take an airplane"~Jay Mohr on Christopher Walken.

I have the kind of charm that can get me laid seconds after meeting a total stranger, or influence enough to cause someone to want to jump off a cliff. I could talk a Nun into having phone sex with me, or convince a nice religious girl that the dumpster behind the Safeway is a romantic place for a quickie.
 
I'm one of those annoying people who's good at all sorts of stuff. However, it's a curse since it means you spend your life pretty unfocussed and therefore never really specialise into anything where you could actually make a difference to the world.

I can sympathize with that comment.
 
I'm a jack of all trades, master of none.

Story of my life.

I don't like it though. It means I've never felt like I excelled at something. I'm the sort of person who was always in the top classes at school, but never at the top of the class. I was in the sports teams, but never the best in them. Etc etc etc...
 
What are you naturally good at, and is it something that is related to your career or hobbies?

I was a techie, studied law, and did landscape gardening. But my real gift is math/physics. But I could never picture myself doing math/physics for a living. :)

I know a man who can dunk a basketball without jumping but he has no interest in playing that sport. He's tall, of course, and coordinated.
