Meme: Instant Conversation

[curuchamion]

eponymous_rose just posted this, and I thought it looked fun, so I'm ganking it:

Post a comment with a fun fact about you, then ask me a question (any question!) and I'll answer. Tadaa! Instant conversation. Possibly.

Go ahead. Give me your best shot. At the very least, it should be... interesting. ;-)

I can wriggle my ears & eyebrows like Jon Pertwee. What's your strangest talent?

[curuchamion.livejournal.com]

You can?! *jealous* (Okay, I can waggle my eyebrows, just not my ears.)

My strangest talent... also has to do with Doctor Who, kind of. I can make containers act as if they're bigger on the inside.

Say you've got a suitcase cram-packed so full it won't quite shut, no matter how much you wrestle with it; if I take everything out of that suitcase, then put everything back in, it will shut with room to spare. Works with bookcases, dresser-drawers, refrigerators, any confined space with a finite amount of contents. And it keeps going: on one trip, I started with a full suitcase, happened to repack several times, and wound up with a half-full suitcase with all the same stuff in.

(Crazy, huh?)

I can also touch my nose with my tongue and twitch my nose Bewitched style... yeah... These are *useful* talents aren't they? (truth to tell, I only figured out how to do the ears thing a couple months back. I realized that my ears went when I was wriggling my eyebrows and after that it was just a matter of separating out the muscles)

Your talent on the other hand is SUPER useful. I'm not a bad packer - I went to Belize for a month on one duffle bag - but when it comes to REPACKING at the end of the trip I'm quite lost. I usually end up chucking most of the stuf I brought with me and just bringing back the souvenirs. Saves on luggage fees if nothing else.
