I know a bunch of random, useless facts that no one cares about (For example, the first product to ever have a Bar-Code was 'Wrigley's Gum').

I've also been told I'm rather charming, on multiple occasions by people independently of one another.

I can come up with an excuse for literally everything in seconds. Incredibly lame, I know, but that's all I can do.

Do you have any abilities that are hard to come by?

I'm a good singer and voice-actor.. Although I don't think it's that special.

I can read really really fast, which is very handy when I have to study.

I can show no emotion at all, making it really easy to lie..

Not really a talent, but its gotten me out of things that should have gotten my ass kicked.(I'm far too tough for that)
Amongst others. Sorry, but I saw the first 3 and thought I may as well say them with Edited quotes.
Becaue I can.

I can fake a foreign accent really well. To clarify: I can't speak English with an American accent, but I can speak it with an accent that Swedes will think sounds American. The most important part is talking quickly, rolling the r[small]s[/small] and using expressions they won't be familiar with.
you can also squeeze batman into any thread, no matter how tangential it may be to the discussion! Don't forget that, it's a talent!
Holy hentai on a helicopter, that's the second person who's noticed my catchphrase "One word: Batman." and tendency to mention him!
Hah, you're like Ryan North [http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=1543], who can fit Batman into any analogy. It always fits.

Always.

Ot: I play guitar. But more importantly, I can make a circular motion with both my hands, but in different directions. I don't know anyone else who can do that. :D

I have the ability to think of the weapon in literally anything. I could turn a teacup into a weapon (just smash it and use it as a knife), or a plastic bottle (shove it down someone's throat to choke them). I also have a strange ability to be able to think in dialogue, I can come up with entire stories and screenplays for my film-making group or theatre group at university by thinking of possible conversations between characters (though I'm not so good at writing descriptive stuff...).
"We need a weapon, Marcus!
"Alright, Karl. Gimme your belt and that brick over there. We bustin' out of here!"

I have the ability to instantly generate a mental scene of what another person is thinking.... and get it wrong 80% of the time.

Thanks! But what is that circular motion-thing? Please elaborate.

Alright, but it's difficult to explain. Say, take your right hand, and raised it up to you, so you're looking at it side on, so your hand looks like a mouth. Then you make a circular motion from the elbow, so it comes towards you, then away, in a circle. Then do the same with your other hand in anti-direction. If one's clockwise, the other is anti-clockwise. Most people think it's easy, but very few can actually do it. If you think you are, make sure and check carefully, it's probably just one is lower or higher than the other. It's pretty rare that you can do them both independantly. It's like the rub your head/pat your stomach thing, only way harder.

I can do death metal vocals. Mine sound more like a demonic roar than the standard gurgle that everyone uses today.

I can play my keyboard by ear (and likely most other melodic instruments as well). Granted, I'm a one-hander and I'm not particularly good, but it counts for something, eh? :D

I can remember Pi to 100 places. The last digit is 9. :D

Among others. :D

I hope by argueing you mean ''discussing''. If you're not, I wouldn't be proud of it.

As for special talents, I play guitar, bassguitar (like most guitarists seem to), drums and I'm a pretty okay vocalist as well.

I'm terrible when it comes to guessing, usually it's joking around and getting the right answer the first time.
Also, my hearing seems to be bordering on the insane. Unintentional eavesdropping happens when i'm within 50 meters from something, but i have to focus when there are more sound sources to get any useful info from it.
Besides that, datasponge.

We don't roll any letters to my knowledge, sometimes we skip a letter in a certain word though.

But... Americans don't roll rs.
Hm... Reading your posts gave me a feeling that "rolling your r[small]s[/small]" doesn't mean what I think it means. What I mean is to pronounce the r[small]s[/small] in the American way rather than the Swedish way. The American way is, as far as I can gather, to press your tounge against the part of your palate that's pretty far back in your mouth, while the Swedish way is to press it against a part of your palate that's closer to your teeth.
I don't know about others, but my tongue doesn't touch anything in my mouth when saying the letter r.

Well I never said I was proud of it, and I never argue anyways. But the once or twice when I have (once was when a guy stole my friends necklace, which was really important to her as it used to belong to one of her grandparents, and the other time was when a teenager on the bus tried to force this little kid off his seat because there was no where to sit).
I don't like to argue but when something happens which realy pisses me off I can't help myself! And I know this post makes me sound like a violent person, but these are the only two occasions where I have been in a serious arguement! And I only got involved because the person I was argueing with did something wrong...

I'm a good problem solver in general, especially when paired up with someone with better creative vision than me. He or she comes up with the good ideas, I help refine them, provide practical solutions and then make those concepts into reality.

Wouldn't that make you more of a consultant?

Yeah, well, like I said I can't fake an American accent, but I can fake what people think sounds like one.

I've done some consulting before, but I prefer a more practical, hands-on approach. Simply put, if someone comes up with a concept, I make it work.
