What random talents do you have?

I can do the moonwalk. Went through a pretty big Michael Jackson phase when I was about 13 and taught myself how to do it, along with the choreography for a bunch of his other videos.

OP could have done this thread's OP a lot better.

But I could make MS Paint edits better than most I'd like to imagine.
I can crack my neck and knees
I used to (probably still could if I wanted to) make Yugioh Orica cards and I made yugioh mats, both from scratch.
Once upon a time, I made AMVs. Back when Windows Movie Maker was the only thing available to me

I have a great memory. Sometimes I pretend not to remember something because I think people would think I'm weird for remembering. Sometimes I act like I don't know a person's name because they might think it's creepy that I still know their name from that one time I met them 4 years ago.

Yup, I'm the same.

People also think I'm Rain Man or something. At a party once, my friend was going on about how I must be super smart because I don't talk much; he told me to quickly glance at the kitchen and then back to him, I looked for about 2 seconds -- not knowing what I was supposed to be looking at -- and he asked how many bottles were on the counter. I said 17, he proceeded to count them and, yup, 17.

His mind was blown. Too bad that little skill doesn't do me any good when I go to Vegas.
 
I can create beats (mainly hip hop, drum and bass, electric, video game tunes)
My memory is awfully good to the point I make people feel bad :(
I can write poetry
Also.....I recently found out I'm should have been a therapist because I can sense people's problems and emotions without asking them.

Become a private detective and solve crimes!
 
I'm apparently a good public speaker. I'm always the one who has to give the speeches during family occasions like parties/weddings/funerals etc..

I can spin a pen around my finger with both hands without looking and catch it 99% of the time.

I wish.. I'm at like 22% on that. If my office door is open people start getting annoyed with the sound of a pen hitting the table every few seconds.
 
I'm really lucky. I've won a few contests, I get dealt good hands in card games, and I even won a Clue game by guessing the cards in the packet with only having looked at my hand. I didn't want to play anymore. It might just be confirmation bias but my friends have commented on it as well.

I also have a great memory for important things like history and Star Wars. I'm great with names too.
 
I can dismantle most mechanical objects, get back to me later about putting them together again though...
 
I once drifted a van at 100mph on the interstate.

As a child I could consistently beat Mega Man 3 without taking damage.

I picked up on painting shockingly fast.

I don't wear makeup and mostly wear men's clothes and androgynous stuff and no one realizes I'm MTF transgender unless I say something.

Solid and diverse extreme metal vocals :3

I have perfect pitch and I can play the church organ expertly.

:) There's this 100-foot tall church organ in San Antonio you should rock out on. I know the curator, I'll get you in!
 
Give me any letter and without counting I can give you the number corresponding to its position in the alphabet (A=1, B=2 etc).

I picked this up when I was a kid. I was a big fan of Fighting Fantasy gamebooks and they often used this as a mechanic (if you know the password sum the letters and turn to the corresponding section).
 
I can sense when a clock is about to change to the next minute. I'd say somewhere around 90% of the time I look at a clock the next second or two it changes to the next minute.
 
I read so fast my school teachers thought I was cheating in my assignments. Like, Don Quixote in a weekend kind of fast.



Also, I once got a spoon in my eye while eating soup.

Now go to the kitchen, grab a spoon and try to emulate that.
 
This one is kind of irrelevant these days, but high school I could recognize every single female of my class by the shape of her posterior.

I hope those three are not connected...


I made the high-score list on nintendo power once...

I also had a lot of success out of high school in arm wrestling competitions..never anything amazing but still won a lot matches...which is weird since I have smallish forearms but very large biceps...
