I can type 120ish words a minute but have yet to find a way to make millions from it.

It's actually a curse. Watching others type slower than 90wpm is like, ahmahgawd.

I can say the alphabet backward in like 3 seconds.

I can make pizzas that look better than the ones from advertisements.

I do the world's greatest helicopter impression.

I can talk like a mafioso.

I can make up bits of dialogue on the spot that people are convinced are from a major movie.

I can learn to pronounce languages well enough to pass as a native. At least, until I run out of vocabulary.

I can move the skin/hair on my forehead/skull back and forth. I don't know why I've only seen 1 other person do it. Maybe because it's completely useless.

Me too :D

Also, I can balance a pole on one foot while jumping up and down on the other, spinning in a circle, rubbing my stomach and patting my head, while whistling "Entrance of the Gladiators".

I was bored a lot at my jobs in high school...

Go figure, I can actually do that. Can't say I've met many/anyone who can as well.

I can also crack my big toe over and over and over and over again (my dad can do this too, must be a family defect).

manimal, we demand audio, at the least. Not to judge your ability but because we want to hear it.


I can roll my stomach muscles up and down. Pretty useless and gross when I'm fat.

Problem-solving. Largely useless in modern society.

Luckily, I'm also getting pretty good at my murdering.

Darts. Been a long time since someone has beaten me at (singles) cricket, and I've thrown several 11 and 12 dart games of 501.

I can make the ringing in my ears go away. Pretty handy if you ask me. Most people can't and suffer. LOL
