Anyone got any interesting talents or amazing (eidetic/photographic) memory skills or something??. I honestly don't think I have one, but my friend seems to strangely remember quite a lot of people's eye colour - even people she's seen once - and can recall them many weeks later. I get confused about my mum's hair colour let alone eye colour :///
I've always found people who can lick their nose and/or elbow to be quite urm impressive as well :P

I can lick my nose, as a silly 'talent' but yeah I have a photographic memory which is quite cool :)

lol only talent i can think of is making my elbows touch from behind. i thought everyone could do it, apparently not. pretty amusing watching someone try it and cracking their back.

Omg what, I can't get anywhere near that :'(
And yes it hurts :@
not really but I have a bit of a photographic memory. A few of my teachers commented on it and one of my uni lectuers because we had to submit an essay and and then sit a timed exam with the same essay q and I rewrote it word for word.

what's a photographic memory? doubt i have one but i can write essays word for word because i group it into paragraphs and remember key terms. pretty simple to train your brain to memorize a lot of information. (i'm too lazy to)

Where you can remember things like looking at a photograph. It's not perfect for me, but I can see a scene in my mind, or see a quote on paper etc etc

I thought that said pornographic memory, I don't even know why.
I have an ok long term memory such as I can remember my first football match every detail and stuff like that. Not sure if that's a talent though.

I have a kind of "map memory". I don't know the proper name :( But I can go on a really long journeys just once and remember how to get there perfectly the next time.
AND I remember anyone who I've ever spoken to (above the age of like 7).

I'm really crap at this. Went back for a final school thing yesterday, and I remembered about 5 people before I went in there - went in and realised how many I've forgotten in a few months :$
Well Im really flexable I can stand up and place my palms down on the ground without bending my knees |

I wish I was joking :(

my memory is terrible :( i'll ask loads of people what day it is, even thought it'd be written down in my book
or like my friend was like to me "GINA IM GOING TO SEE TWILIGHT SUNDAY!!!!!" so i go "OOOH WHAT DAY YOU SEEING IT?"

I can juggle. Not sure how much of an interesting talent that is though and I haven't expanded this.. skill ... to anything more than 3 items.

I can do a rubik's cube in like 2 minutes or so
And as part of being good at DDR I can remember strings of like 8-9 directional arrows and their timings in the song. This helps most in 16th beats, where seeing a random pattern can be hard to follow. Repetition, eh?
Also, I pick out random events and remember unnecessarily much info about them.
Like I remember 9-11-11. I went to Weatherspoons with my mum for lunch on a Sunday. We sat near the bar & exit and there was this creepy guy cleaning tables for payment in alcohol. Odd employment. The memorial service for 9-11 was on TV and I know I had a chicken burger but I had to caution my mum to ask for it without salady stuff when she went up to ask for it.
She had a panini, I think. She definitely didnt enjoy it, though.

I can play the piano decently. Urm. My English teacher said I am a very talented writer, although I still doubt her. Urm. I think that's about it for me. I can bend the tips of my index fingers/double-jointed.
I doubt the verity of some of the things that I've seen people claim they can do in this thread...
o i also know the alphabet backwards
so talented ;)

Not even joking that's the most useful of all of the talents here Gina.
Such a simple thing that nobody bothers to learn LOL

I wouldn't call it a talent as such but I'm pretty good at remembering names and faces. I can recall someones name from 2 years ago if I meet them again and recognise them but I'd doubt they'd remember me haha

I can remember loads of moments in my life extremely vividly whilst having no memory of stuff in general. Not sure if that's a skill or if I'm just forgetful.
I'm not sure if this is an "interesting talent" but it's a pretty good party trick, haha. I can place a drink can on my forehead, cheeks and chin and they will just stay there.... Um yeah.
I can tweet more crap in 60 seconds than anybody can in their entire life.
