What pointless/useless talents do you have?

I can do plot synopses off the top of my head for shows I haven't even watched

Rather a lot like his Watson, I suppose. Except my moustache survived.

I'm forced to assume that you can also snipe someone across building through window with a pistol.

You know, I've never tried it with a pistol.

Have you ever with a rifle? Please say yes.

With a rifle isn't even a challenge.

So you have. Sweet.

One of these days, I'm gonna try shooting a gun.

It's overrated.

Depends what you're shooting at.

I can find what row you parked in at Wal-Mart by what door you came in.

By the way, I can sense incomings of Janken in a video I watch. I jerk a bit. I even created a playlist for every instance of Janken I come across, even if it isn't really the point!

I can wiggle my little toe independently from the rest.

To wake up 10 minutes before my alarm.

I can dislocate both of my thumbs.

I can also make a “cloverleaf” shape with my tongue.

I can memorize song lyrics very easily, even Japanese ones.

I know exactly how Kid Com episodes proceed and end.

That's not really a talent so much as it is understanding the clichés of television writing.

Well, lets see I can:

Read upside down.

Dislocate both my shoulders, its easier with the right one.

Have double-jointed fingers.

Can make myself go cross-eye for several seconds.

So far none of these "abilities" have served me any real purpose.

i can almost use my toes like fingers

well at least enough to pick up small things and point with them

I've noticed I'm getting somewhat better at voice impersonating Sligs from Oddworld. Serves no real purpose whatsoever though.

I can screw up FM radio transmissions by sitting at just a certain distance from the antennae.

I'm double jointed and can bend my elbow more than 180 degrees.

I can pick things up with my toes. I can also fold really tiny origami without using tweezers, and play Audiosurf in Double Vision by myself (using my left hand to control the right spaceship and my right hand to control the left spaceship, thanks to this laptop's layout).

Edit: apparently I posted about the origami thing a while back. Remembering things that would be useful to remember is not one of my talents.

I'm very flexible!

I can voluntarily contract my tensor tympani muscle. It's an utterly useless ability - the only thing it does is make me hear a low roaring noise for a few seconds. My dad has the same ability and uses it to pop his ears on airplanes, but that doesn't seem to work for me.
