What's your hidden talent?

You'd never know it to look at me, but I can carve a pretty decent Jack O' Lantern in under 5 minutes, pumpkin goo removal included. I can also do fairly intricate lanterns given enough time.

How about you? What are your skills that no one would guess?

I can do things with my arm that would not normally be possible, were it not for a messed-up shoulder.
As for things I can actually do that aren't exactly useful but at least have more practical applications, in almost any conversation I can come up with a Simpsons quote relevant to the topic of discussion. I can also do a really nice John Wayne stage punch.

I have the astounding ability to alienate anyone, even those who are on my side.
Wait. Wait, what do you mean that's not a secret?

Hmmm o_O

I dunno, I'm rather self loathing (Of everything I have painted I'm happy with one thing. and I pick flaws in that.) so..

I'm a pathological liar. Oh wait...

I can wiggle my nose.

I can imitate animals noises a little too well. I'm known to confuse them into thinking I'm one of their own...until they realize they were just called by a human lol. My best impressions are wolf, peacock and dolphin.

I'm good at jigsaw puzzles. It's actually my real hobby, too. Currently I'm working on a 3000 piece one, and it's going quite fast, if I say so myself. Along the years, I've produced this nice little talent to unusually quickly see where pieces go. I follow the shape, not the picture :)

I have extremely good fine motor skills.

Despite being absolutely terrible with road names, I can have someone tell me directions only once, for a trip that can be anywhere between 10 minutes and 1.5 hours, and I'll be able to get there without having to look at a map. I don't know how. This also causes great frustration to my father when he's trying to give me the initial directions:

Dad: Okay, now best way would be to go down Doncaster Road...
Me: ..Which one's Doncaster Road?
Dad: ...

I do landmarks. Not street names.

Before I could drive myself, this would also cause problems when my parents were picking me up from somewhere. I knew exactly how to get to somewhere, but couldn't tell you my friends' address if my life depended on it.

I did that once.
After nearly taking my arm off I stopped.

I can code in HTML pretty decently, although not anything horribly fancy. I can draw stick people really well too

I can instantly figure out how things work, so I can slice open gifted people's skulls to study their brains and make adaptations to my own DNA. And I'm coming after all of you. >=O
