No way? I'd actually love to see that, because that sounds really impressive.

If I know the lyrics to a song, I can come up with a rough spanish translation while the song plays, and sing it on-key.

I'm somewhat decent at behind-the-back juggling. With a lot of luck, I can get three clubs going.

I can still remember the opening speech from Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness word for word.

I dunno, I'd say memorization is a pretty useful skill.

I'm really good at remembering character names even from works I haven't read or watched.

Making really, really tiny paper cranes.

Also, remembering large amounts of very useless information — if it's actually useful, I'll probably forget it near-instantly.

I can write extremely small, I also can write upside down. I can read upside down as well as backwards.

I also can read really fast, but that actually comes in handy, since I like to read contracts before signing them, and people I'm with can have limited patience for me doing this for everything (like whoever drove me to the place).

I can imitate Link's "Excuse me, princess!" line perfectly as well as C. Falcon "FALCON PAWNCH!" "Falcon Kick" and "Show me your moves"

I can recognize any BGM that I listened more than once, and their variations as well, unless it's one of those extremely slowed down or sped up version.

I can fix pretty much anything electronic, which leads to me becoming the lackey to my ex and her friends when they need something fixed, I either get puppy eyes or carried by about four or five 15-16 year old girls. Its not as fun as it sounds when it's 2 AM and you were just having the nicest dream. Oh, and I can craft amazing poems.... I hate poetry.

I had a huge stutter when I was little, so one of the ways my parents attempted to fix it was to have me be the singer whenever we would have wee family get togethers. I can sing the really long/fast part of the Rattlin Bog, which is some old traditional song, faster than the singer is in that video actually. I swear its slightly more impressive in person. When ever I am introduced to someone, its like one of the first things my friends make me do for them :p

The song is like the Irish version of one everyone gets really bored after like day 5 on the 12 days of Christmas and kinda just skips to the end.

I have an unusually expressive face. Really, it's lie a cross between some sort of weird Ralph Bakshi cartoon and a Spitting Image puppet.
