    @Taza: I can do that, too, and when you tell my almost-3-years-old son to close his eyes, that's what he does. :)

    Ummm... Special talents aye?
    Well I seem to have a natural talent for archery. With in half a year of starting I was already national champion :)
    I have been told by a lot of people I'm to observant, I guess that could be classed as a talent.
    Oh and then theres my most amazing talent to be an absoutly hopeless speller :) .
    And I guess one could say I am good with numbers, but no way near as BigStick.
    I'm really good with computer, but for some reason hate them.
    I can rap my right arm right the way around my neck and grab the top of my right ear.
    I can do no work through out the year, not study for exams but then still come out top in the school in a few subjects.
    Oh and one last one I can think of. I've been told I have a great talent of looking really bored when anyone ever talks to me (I don't know why they think this :confused: ).
    Well thats about it from me.

    I have a natural talent for bull****ting and am fairly good at drawing conclusions on my own from a limited amount of facts. These two 'talents' has helped me through three years of university with a minimum amount of studying. Sadly I have not learnt much, but that isnt what counts!

    Ok i thought of/remembered a couple more.

    You know the exercise where you're meant to make your hands meet behind your back, when one is sort of pivoting on your head (you either know this exercise or are totally confused by what i just said). Well i can do that without any effort at all (in the exercise most people have to actually push their arms to make them meet, or even come close).

    I can put my left arm behind my back, then push on it upwards with my right arm. This causes my hand to appear up by my shoulder/back of my neck. This tends to scare people :confused:

    I can wrap my arms around myself (they cross over/under at the back) in the opposite way to a hug. At the front my hands come within about 5 cm's of touching. I've still been unable to make them touch *sigh*

    If I know the same amount or, prefferably, a little more about a given subject, then i can normally make up pretty convincing stuff, that the other person belives. Basically I can 'woffle' though that probably doesn't translate very well.

    I have been told that i have a talent for making up songs, and making up stuff in general

    I can make up names very fast and I also read very fast. Then there is this talent of hating Orlando Bloom and Justin Timberpoop.

    Talents...hmm...well, I'm sure a lot of you can do this, but I tend to invite people over for DND, plan NOTHING, and still end up having a campaign that they really enjoy, with me just making up everything as we go.

    Um...in high school, I placed in the state finals in the high hurdles for track, so I guess running and jumping is a talent.

    I can shoot three-pointers in basketball pretty well.

    @Eze: What's the problem with Orlando? I don't know much about him, but he was AWESOME as Legolas! :) From what I do know, he didn't know anything about archery, swordplay, or horseback riding before the movie, but learned enough to fake it really well.
    As far as the other one goes, I have to agree.

    I am a quite good artist with a pencil. I have been doing drawingschool since my seventh and I still love to do it! I have won various prizes in competitions for a total of 320 Euros! Spent it all on games and Magic cards...

    My patience(sp?) is one of my greater talents. Also I have a talent in getting bored and making others get bored.

    I'm good at sneaking around, climbing, and generally being unnoticable when I want to be. Very useful if you're bored and your neighbourhood is full of people who go out at midnight. I've been reported for more than one heart attack. I got this talent from my years of hunting. Due to that I'm excellent with a bow. Since I wasn't allowed a gun I used a bow instead.

    Besides that I can do a lot of freaky stuff with my fingers, like make the last 3 fingers touch the top of my hand(too hard to explain)
