tinyE: ... being able to speak multiple languages, do math, write, and do the Vulcan Salute are NOT useless skills, they are the keys to Global Domination!
Shhhhhhhhh! You'll ruin my plans to assemble an army of forum members devoted to conquer the world...

... under my command, of course. :D

tinyE: It's not my place to say but in the interest of thining down the applicants, A LOT of these skills are anything but useless. I'm actually more that a bit puzzled that the people who can do some of these things are hanging out in here and not out running the world. No offense to those of us who are actually useless, but being able to speak multiple languages, do math, write, and do the Vulcan Salute are NOT useless skills, they are the keys to Global Domination!
Oh, I don't think it's useless, they come in handy when you meet people from that country in unexpected places. However, getting them dismissed as such by some idiot interviewer still manages to piss me off. This thread just reminded me of that. Plus, in the interest of thinning down applicants, I never actually asked for a game, I was just venting.

Useless skill: I call it The Great Fountain. I can eject water through my teeth and form up to 3 jet streams simultaneously or one by one . See the picture to get the idea.

Useless knowledge: I know that elephant's pregnancy last for 22 months


I'm in for Inquisitor.

Not entering, this is just for shits 'n' giggles.

Here's a doozy. By grabbing my cheek and shaking it, I can pretty much perfectly emulate the sound of someone vigorously masturbating.

HomerSimpson: Excellent idea for a giveaway thread! I would like to enter for Inquisitor, please.

The talent completely bereft of practical value that I possess is the ability to recite the entire periodic tabe of elements from memory by atomic number both in ascending and descending order.
I wish I had this ability in Chemistry, that would have been useFUL!

Also lil' bump before this gets too buried.

It would absolutely be great if I were in the chemistry field. Unfortunately, I'm in finance. :)

I can twirl a pen or a similar object (lighters, etc) with the fingers of just one hand pretty fast.

In... Inquisitor.

I'd say that's a pretty useful skill.

I know quite a lot about european swords, and can probably identify which century, and possibly which part of Europe a sword came from at a glance. I have also trained in medieval swordsmanship, although I am out of practice.
I am entering for Inquisition.

I can easily reach up behind my back and grab my right shoulder-blade with my right hand, and same with left/left. Useless skill?

I can wiggle my ears...
