Default Special talents?

Do you have any?

Whenever I go to our coffee room at work, to get some coffee, I spit my gum from across the room, probably 10 - 15' into a square garbage can, with sides measuring about 1 1/2 '. I'm probably sinking it 9/10 times.

I just now realized what a special talent I have and thought I should share it with the world, and of course ask others to add in theirs. I wonder if there is some kind of league I could join.

You could learn the ancient art of watermelon seed spitting and join competitions across the US! This talent that you have discovered cannot be ignored. You have to grab this bull by the balls.

Drinking use to be my talent. Now that I have a family, I can change a diaper in 5 seconds flat.

Spit but no swallow ? That is very impressive distance and accuracy OP! 'Bout the only thing I can do is lick my nose.

I have a really detailed memory when it comes to numbers, statistics, or math. You could tell me a phone number once and I'll remember it years later. I still remember a lot of numbers I haven't dialed in five years.

In math courses throughout high school and college I never studied. One or two examples in class and I was golden for exams.

Memory when it comes to some other things isn't so great though.

I can down a pint in the 4-5 second range. My buddy used to round up suckers and bet on me in head to head contests.

I'm pretty much void of talent, but my buddy can give you the outcome of any flames game in the last 3 years (win or lose). If you give him a schedule he'll even give you scores for a lot of them. It's pretty odd. I pulled a Carolina ticket out of a drawer once and commented something like "wow, a carolina ticket from 3 years ago". He went all Rainman for a second and replied "Carolina scored late. Ended in a tie. 3-3" (I can't remember the exact score that he said, but it was something like that).

It was so bizarre that it took me almost 20 minutes of googling to confirm.

I'm very similar. I'm great with math (I got an A in one HS math without ever doing the homework) and numbers in general, but names and some other things, years and years later? Forget it.

I have a deviated septum and can stick my entire pinky up one side of my nose. My pinky is 7cms long (just measured it).

So I guess I can physically tickle my brain.

I have the amazing ability to find the slowest line anywhere, be it at a grocery store or on a busy road.

Just an off-topic note for you....

Never pick a grocery store line by anticipated speed. You should always pick the one with the best looking checkout girl.
