I could stick both my legs behind my head. Bear in mind this was when I was fat (20 stone), so I thought it was rather odd.

I assume I can still do it now, but I haven't actually tried in a while.
Any Pics? :p

After years of practice I can kind of make a quiet half assed snapping sound, but only with my right hand.

I think it's because my skin is so dry? There's not enough stick to my hands to build up the snapping power XD

The right halt of my body is larger then the left. Ribs, ears, legs, arms.. all slightly larger.

I've no idea how I've lived with such a burden!

Oh right I'm the only one who cares.

My knees crack. Like, REALLY crack. If I crouch down quickly, people on the other side of the room with rush over and ask if I'm ok, as it really sounds like I must have damaged something and be in a lot of pain (it's actually completely painless though). My parents thought it was just something that would stop when I finished growing, but it never did.

Also my calves are asymmetrical. It looks like one calf connects to my knee much lower down than the other one, though as far as I can tell it's just an optical illusion created by the muscles being very different shapes for some reason.

I beat all of you! Fear me, because I'm ...

left handed!

I also have alot of beauty marks I guess? I mean there isn't a set standard for "normal" bodies apart from the bare minimum.

I'm afraid that's not the correct medical term.

There we go. That's better.

OT:
I have weird thumbs. They're sort of hitchhiker's thumbs, but I can barely raise them if I keep them straight.

Pic:


That's as far as I can raise my left thumb.
Also that picture makes my hands look gigantic. They're actually regular sized.

Hmmm, weirdest thing about this mortal coil I inhabit is probably how I've always been able to do that Butterfly stretch without any difficulties. Aside from that, I'm hopelessly normal. I WANT DOUBLE JOINTS DAGNIT

I have a big hairy brown birth mark on my shoulder blade. It's hideous. Like, most people have birthmarks, but mine is like as wide as my palm. I hate taking my shirt off in front of people because of this.

I have very long legs compared to my torso, but that's not too unusual.

I have several scars on my head from a dog bite when I was 2, but I don't know if that counts since I wasn't born with it.

Oh, also, it turns out I have this weird bald patch on my face. I recently grew out my beard longer than I ever have before, but it looks wonky because of this dime-sized spot on my jaw that just grows no hair. It's bizarre and aggravating, because I want a good manly beard but I don't think I will ever have a proper one.

I can only snap my fingers with my left hand, although I'm right-handed. That's some X-Men level weirdness, isn't it?

One of my collarbones sticks out farther than the other. That's about it.

Oh, yes. It's absolutely lovely to have tons of double joints and preternatural flexibility. I especially love the arthritis at age 16 and having to pop my kneecaps back into place after any sort of physical activity.

Trust me, you're better off without.

I have thighs that are the size of some people's torsos. ;_____;

My face naturally falls into a sort of "murder everything" scowl on occasion, which has been known to scare aquaintences and make kids cry.

I just tried this, and it worked exactly the same way.

Alongside the shin of my right leg are two...inflatable spots. I've taken them to doctors and no one has any idea what's up. If I hunker down, these two spots swell up into domes about the size of ping pong balls cut in half, and they're very hollow, offering no resistance when you use your finger to poke deep dimples into them. It's like I have two air pockets installed in my leg. Weird as hell.

All of the joints in my fingers crack whenever I close my hand into a fist, my second toes are significantly longer than my large toes, and all developments to do with my teeth happen years later than they should. I also have horrible hip flexibility but that doesn't really count.

I... honestly don't know what my real voice sounds like anymore...

Other than that... uh... I can twist either one of my legs a full 90 degrees...

One of my knee joints starts doing a deep click if I get up and start moving sometimes. It's like it's trying and failing to change gear.
I have a small burn mark on my right hand I've had since I was 3 from sticking my hand in a bonfire. Atleast that's how I remember it. No one else in my family remembers the event or how I got this mark.
A few people used and still think I look A-

Let's see...
I work out basically never, but I'm a a fairly hulking muscley viking thing "just because", I guess.
Fairly tall at 6'1".
My entire skeleton seems to be unusually thick and sturdy.
Never broken a single bone, despite getting launched from cars onto the road, falling from stupid heights, and hurting myself/almost dying in all manner of different ways.
I have a form of heterochromia where my eyes are blue with gold rims around the pupils.
I have Royal Toe/Greek Toe, which is real handy for using my feet kinda like hands and seemingly being the source of my amazing balance, but apparently it's the reason I put weight on the wrong part of my feet when running or walking.
I have loads of scars all over my hands and wrists, simply because I use them like wrecking balls and don't worry about hurting them.
Also have several other random scars here and there.
I have an extra vertebrae in my back.
I'm capable of a whole list of "1 in 10000 people can _____" type stuff. Thumbs that bend backwards, stupid tongue tricks, able to outright stand on my hands if I bend over with my legs straight, etc etc.
I had bright blonde hair when I was born, but now it's brown.....and my beard is redish...
I can bend just the last joint on every finger simultaneously.
I can pop almost every joint in my body without applying outside force, and many of them in alternate ways WITH outside force.
I have almost no sense of smell.
I can hum and whistle at the same time.
My left knee is kinda fucked up, as opposed to the years it spent very fucked up after I lost a fight with a fence and gravity.
Asumming studies have produced accurate statistics, my junk is quite large...but looks completely ordinary on my huge frame.
I have a powerful "death grip" that has stumped and annoyed master martial artists trying to use me as an example for training in how to disarm someone. Something I suspect might be a byproduct of just how I grip my steering wheel when I drive.
I'm balding pretty solidly, and I'm only 27 :/ Naturally the rest of my body has no such problem.
I don't sun burn. I flash fry. 5 minutes in the sun can leave me red.
I have great dark vision.
According to my friend, who makes/fits glasses for people as her job, everyone's face is slightly asymmetrical/lopsided in some noticeable way...except mine. She says that's super weird. Fine by me.

That's all I can think of...
