Me, too. Can roll tongue up taco-style. Write with either hand. Write cursive backward with right hand. Print upside down and backward with right hand. And my popping kneecaps keep me from sneaking up on anyone, anymore!!!
I'm not really a member of the physical tricks gang, but I do have a good memory for names. I have knack for remembering details that you tell me about yourself and finding connections with other people who are either similar or need what you have. For instance, 2 years ago I met this man at a networking event. He told me all about his daughter. Fast forward to recently when we needed a speaker on the subject about which he's an expert. We brought him in to talk about it. When I met him again I remembered the details about his daughter and asked how she was liking school now.
Sometimes I think it freaks people out.
I'm also really good with (western) languages. I don't speak any Danish but recently read an email in Danish and was able to understand 90% of it. I've never studied any related languages, either.
That reminds me. I have a Russian soldier in my butt who, for some strange reason, keeps poking his head out to let off a few rounds from his AK-47 now and then. He doesn't know The Cold War is over, so he goes back inside only to re-emerge later and "Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat!" Let off a few more rounds. It is suspected that he has a few grenades and has even gotten ahold of some rockets or nukes. So far there has been no way to safely investigate these circumstances.
This Russian soldier is well known in certain circles. No one dares compete with him. He's gifted and that's an understatement.
