I would make myself a human calculator so I'll be able to mentally compute any mathematical problem.

*Edit* You can only do it once.

Is there a skill to increase capacity and learning curve?

**EDIT**
If not, then maybe all known Physics (Mechanical - Quantum)

But more than likely

All known Medical knowledge and the proficiency to use that knowledge. Basically enough to be the most proficient surgeon out there.

Come on guys, you have to think broader than some of the answers given. Why learn a purely physical skill because in the real world chances are you won't have the athleticism to do those skills? Martial arts takes years of practice to just get the muscles strong and good enough to do some things. You have to do something that requires your brain. Think of something that takes people years of studying to achieve. Law school, Medical school, Sales/Negotiation, Physics... Why learn a programming language? They get outdated and you will ahve to learn a new one. Calculators and brute mathematics isn't a learned trait as much as a trait by how your brain is composed. Autistic and Idiot Savants are some of the best calculators or photographic memory people out there.

I would choose to learn All Known Medical skills and knowledge because one, it makes a great difference in a person's life (you can literally save lives), and two, not many people out there could do it, so there is a need for people like this.

I would upload data to myself that would give me the ability to build and operate my own personal version of the machine that just uploaded the data.

You could know how to be the best brain surgeon in the world in two clicks of a mouse and you would choose to know PHP...
