I discovered my friend has the coolest gift/talent/ability!!

[CarpeDeo]

I met a friend recently who has PERFECT pitch. And by perfect pitch, I don't mean I had to give her a reference note like C and then she'd figure out what note I played next.

I would play like a C# out of the middle of nowhere on my guitar- and she'd get it immediately. I would play like three random notes, like E, C#, D <which sounds like crap> at the same time- and she would get them all!!

So I started playing a game with her, I would play random notes on my guitar in sequence like C - A - B - B - A - G -E and I would do it really fast- and have her spell what I just played. And immediately she'd be like, &quot;cabbage&quot;.

So what're some loooooooooong words with letters from A-G that I can spell out for her? Some we've done already is:

FACE, CAFE, BAGGAGE, CABBAGE, DEAD, FEED, and other simple ones. But I want some long long words. Any ideas?

Can you strum an acoustical version of War and Peace?

 

[HansHurt]

Good one Carbo...I like it

 

[RaoulDuke]

perfect pitch is indeed probably one of the coolest things, i just wished more people would realize they could use it, ya know? Also i dig those people who see colors when they hear or read words.. i dunno what the term is though.

I'm sure the real comp sci majors can throw in more, but my partner used DEADBEEF a lot when debugging stores and reads.

Yeah well, I can vomit at will, without having to use my fingers or some other object.

I can crush a beer can using my butt muscles.

 

[Ulfwald]

Monel, I do not want to know why you are sticking beer cans in your butt. That is just TMI, IMHO.

There was a girl in my HS who was able to stick her whole fist in her mouth. She must have had a lot of...nevermind.

Its called Synaesthesia. I am one myself, I didn't even realize it until one day while speaking with my wife about music I started describing the tones with colors and sensations and she got really confused. Saw a specialist that identified what it was a few years later.

Here are a few links about it.
