My brother can say ANY word backwards without even thinking about it. You give him a word - any word - complexity, length, etc. doesn't matter. He'll instantly say it back to you in reverse :Q. It's actually kind of disturbing. If you take the time to sound out the word backwards (everyone else has to think about it) he's ALWAYS right.

Oh, and my other brother can beatbox like a mfer. He's won like 2 local talent competitions and has been on public access TV here doing it :D.

Can you make a mp3 of you throwing words at your brother and him saying it backwards?

Not at the moment :(. I'm at school and he's still back home, about 70 miles from here. I only visit there about once a month. Otherwise, I'd record it and post it here.

Some of my favorite women exhibit some similar attributes.

That reminds me of a game we used to play. Record and small sentence in sound recorder. Then play it backwards and memorize it. Then try to say it backwards and record it and then reverse it and see how close you can get.

I don't really have any odd talents. I can do a number of impressions (George Bush Sr., Jimmy Stewart, Harry Carey, Arnold Schwarzeneggar, Bill Cosby, Jessie Ventura, etc.), but that's not really strange...

Unfortunately, I end up peeing on 3 of them. :frown:


That made me laugh out loud for some strange reason.

When someone tells me they bought something, my first question is always how much did you pay?

Then I proceed to inform them that they could have saved $xx if they had ... :)

I can speak five languages. That's not really odd, is it?

Um, lemme see what else...I have heightened intuition, it's very freaky/scary.

Oh and I give great massages. Again, not so odd...

I can eat food by catching it in my mouth when I toss it upwards in the air. I'm talking anywhere from an upward toss of 2-10 feet.
