Okay, so I don't have many talents but the one that is odd to most is my ability to remember the Capitals of any country or any state/provence. Literally, I know every one. As a child growing up, my "parents" had nothing to say to us but turn dinner time in to a psycho game show. I was eating my food and all of a sudden it would be "What is the capital of Iceland?", or "What is the Capital of Senegal?" screamed in my face.
Two weeks ago, my son's high school had an auction to raise money for his prom and other events, 4 years from now. Most people donated their beach/ski houses, homes in Tuscany, use of a private plane, etc. You get the point. We are the really poor people in a rich school. What did I donate? Ask me the capital of any country/state/province, no matter how obscure and I will know it. If I am wrong, I donate $100. If I am right, you donate $200. I raised $19,600. I owed $400.
Anybody else have weird skills?
