There's a thread in IMO about the hanging of an obese prisoner—the things we discuss in IMO, I swear—and katl8e said something that made it clear that she has more than the average knowledge about hanging a person. (No worries; apparently she came by this knowledge honestly. We're all safe.) That made me think of a woman we interviewed a few weeks ago who left IT for a while to work in a funeral home. Even though she was office staff, she had to learn how to embalm as part of her training. That's a conversation starter, right there.

So, what strange things do you know/have you done/can you do that are out of the ordinary? It doesn't have to be morbid, but it's cool if it is.

not sure if it's weird but my husband can raise his lip like Elvis

The cats house, we just pay the mortgage..
I can cross my eyes, put my legs behind my head, walk on my knees in the lotus position, drink loads of juice and then lie on my back and make my belly gurgle all the juice, stand up and bend over so my elbows are on the floor, blow my tummy out so it looks like I am actually pregnant. It freaks Mark out so much its hilarious. Not all at the same time obviously.

Okay, now, how do you do that? Because even if I could fold my torso completely against my legs and extend my elbows, my elbows would still be at least a foot from the ground. Admittedly, my legs are quite long and my torso quite short, but still ...

The only thing I do that is kinda weird (and I do it without even noticing) is that I'm double jointed in my feet. Sometimes when I'm sitting down my foot will hang in such a way that it looks horribly dislocated

Whoa... and for a minute there I had a vision of a gargling buddha in repose.....!
Rune can blow up his tummy too... that's almost disturbing... and it would be if it wasn't coupled with a particular "dance"... you don't wanna know.

Me? Hrmn... I think the fact that I'm still here is wierd enough.....

Umm, I can wiggle my ears. And bend my fingers back so far it freaks out my husband. And my hands are always so cold that they don't register on heat imaging devices.

I can suck my upper lip into my nostrils so that I stop up the air flow.

And I'm so glad my hidden talent has now found a use!!

Hmmmmmmmm...some interesting (scary) things in this thread!!
..well a couple of things....I can play drums fairly well, I can pretend to levitate, it looks pretty cool the first time you see it, .......and I can make little kids believe they have 11 fingers (they hold out their fingers, and I count for them...10, 9, 8, 7, 6..........(next hand) and 5 make 11)...they are usually stunned for awhile.................I also know exactly, to the tenth of a second how many hours there are in a day....23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.1 seconds
..i actually possess quite a bit of totally useless information



oops almost forgot....I am the only one that can take this sentence, and by adding the correct grammar and punctuation, make it a perfectly proper sentence:

John where James had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher.

Nobody has gotten it yet!

Hmm, my special talents!!


I can squash my ears into the hole and keep them there for however long I like!


I'm sure I have other weird talents, but I can't think of them as I find them normal!
