Weird skills?
Does anyone have a certain (relatively useless) skill that they're good at?
I have the ability to keep really accurate time in my head.

I can do a shaka \m/ (the local 'Hang Loose' hand-sign) with the toes on my right foot.
Several GCers have already seen it, lol.

I can play the violin.
-- actually had a nearly full ride to my undergrad school for it.
(is that a strange skill?)

I'm similar with PhiGam about keeping fairly accurate time in my head...but I'm also that way with numbers in general (ie mileage, etc)

I can bend my leg back, pull it up towards my butt, and tuck it under my ribs. Well, I could do this when my ribs stuck out further compared to my stomach than they do now!

I don't know if it's weird but I have a really good sense of direction. I only need to visit a place once to know how to get back to it and I rarely get lost. Even in Europe, I always knew how to get back to the hostel without asking for directions.

Just tried it...I can do it with both feet.
I can pick up a dime using just two toes
My kids hate it that I can pinch them really really HARD with my toes too

My sense of smell is incredible. Particularly when it comes to perfumes or cigarette smoke. I can typically recognize any scent and can smell cig smoke on someone hours later. Someone once told me it was only the smells that I disliked that I could detect easily; a doctor once told me it was because I was completely a nose-breather rather than a mouth-breather.

The easy part is bending the three middle toes down. The hard part's getting the big toe and little toe to extend out. Most people can't get the big and little one to spread outward and still keep the middle toes crunched down.
I'd take a picture of it, but my toes look absolutely horrendous due to lack of pedicure in a while.

this isnt necessarily a skill, but i tend to remember phone numbers. especially to jingles and phone numbers of friends, family members from years ago.
i tend to remember numbers for stores ive called, customer service lines... its really weird.
