almost anything is useful to anyone an anything, its just a matter of view points really.
My talent(s) is coming up with Unique names such as: Valdagesh, Syloreon, Adromaedis, Vyrius, Deleium, Vydran, Xerius, Ziriphiel, Daemonosis, Sirath, Qaireth, Dreyven, and so many others.

I can bend my fingers an my thumbs in abnormal ways, I can stretch them to certain points of my hand that apparently no one else can do, I'm even double jointed in my toes lol.

I can snap/pop every single bone in my body (fingers in several different ways, my legs, thighs, buttocks, my toes, my ankles, my knee caps, my neck, my back, my shoulders & shoulder blades, knuckles, elbows, waist, jaw, sides of my front torso, and even my rib cage).

I can speak in dozens of different voices, but only one of my voices will only work when I'm sick with some throat sickness.

My memory is only picture memory, I can't memorize places by words, I can only remember them by what they look like (like a piece of paper that has a bunch of specific writing on it, I won't know where it is, but if theres a logo or picture on it or the paper is of a certain color then I'll know where to look)..

My useless talent:



phenomenal long-term memory (its useless because the trade-off is pretty bad short-term memory)



Its useless because all this has had me do is dwell on the past, and I've had a pretty f'ed-up life, which helps me understand all the crap Thane Krios goes through to some degree (of course I don't remember birth, though, lol)

Hmm nothing special.
I can stay up for several days with relative ease .

:blink:

It's not that special, just get your self a good distraction and I'm sure anyone could do it.
As a matter of fact earlier this week I'd been awake for a bit over 30 hours before I decided to hit the sack.
Although I have heard that if you stay awake for a week you can die.
Probably a load of hogwash but I'd rather not push my luck.

I can recite pi to 46 places (which isn't even that good; my friend can do over 100 and some people can do > 1000).

I also have Hamlet's "To be or not to be" soliloquy memorized, as well as Mark Antony's funeral speech for Caesar ("Friends, Romans, Countrymen...") and Sonnet 18 ("Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?"). Oh, and the French national anthem, La Marseillaise. I have yet to find a chance to show off any of them.

^ The longest I've ever stayed awake was about 30 hours, and man, that was no fun. And in fact, severe sleep deprevation CAN eventually kill you. Our brains do need their chill out time. I don't think a week will do it though, if you are physically fit, but don't think you can go too much further than that before you risk death.



After a couple of days of being awake, people generally start hallucinating, and exhibiting symptomns of psychosis. Even 24 hours of being awake does compromize your reaction times and cognitive abilities about the same as being slightly drunk.



While I haven't been awake consecutively for more than 30 hours, I have had the experience, in an army training camp, where I only had about 3 hours of sleep a night for, I think it was 6 days. That was horrible. By the last night, when we were woken up for a four hour march through the woods with our gear, I remember that I was actually nodding-off while WALKING. And I also had hallucinations.

~ 70 Hours here. I was doing military service and one night I just couldn't sleep at all ....next  day we had to do field exercise and simulated combat for 48 hours with NO sleep.  Now that was awesome. 
I was like a zombie. I really don't need much sleep ( 6 hours / day) and I can stay awake for two days w/o a problem but that almost killed me.

When I was about 15 I had a serious problem with insomnia, it normally wasn't too bad maybe a night or two here and there where I couldn't sleep but I had a stretch of I think it was about 6 nights where I didn't sleep at all, I think I got about 30 minutes sleep in those 6 days. I felt like utter sh*t after about 4 days it was like I couldn't even trust my eyes I was seeing things everywhere. I honestly thought I was going nuts. The worst part is that no one seemed to notice, even in school lol.

A co-worker claimed his dad used to say to him, "son, if you're not in bed by 11 o'clock... it's time to give up and come home!"

His dad is clearly a quitter. Quitters never win and winners never quit.

Tbh the only thing left after midnight is the drunks and the losers picking up the scraps. At that point it's time to call it a night :D

The irony is he's one of the most committed family men I've known.

Should've been bloody committed for his sense of humour, though!  There's only so much groaning a person should have to do in their life.

I have, but usually because I've fallen asleep.  It's kind of embarrassing to have to be woken up from my comfortable half-a-pint-induced-stupor when it's chucking out time.

My mate has done that a few times we don't even bother waking him anymore, we find its better when he isn't assaulting women with his personality. Have you considered perhaps a placard with chat up lines or something written on it? "Hey, how you doing? ;) Nudge if interested."
