McDon: Thought Flemish was spoken pretty often in some parts of Belgium?

P1na: It is. But this particular company never did business in Belgium, I suppose.
Hercule Poirot does not like this company of which you speak...

I am pretty good writer.


In Czech.

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!

I have all the right keys, I just can't find the right locks.

I'm just imagining a heist movie where I use my self-spraining ability as a distraction against guards now... :D

In Lethal Weapon 2 he saves the day by being able to dislocate his own arm. It could happen!

I'm able to close my eyes using only the lower lid.

Inquisitor. +1 ISC & Thespian*

Perhaps spending time to read other people's useless skills is also a useless skill? In any case, I've had fun :)

I'm on the next plane to Hungary! I have got to see that! I can't even do that if I super glue my top lid open.

I'm in for Inquisitor.

Lets see;
Being able to read Latin (badly)
Sadly, I can't claim firearm knowledge as useless to me since I'm armed forces >.>
Most of my weird and wonderful science knowledge, like that there's a difference between giant and colossal squid.
Knowing cheat codes to AoE1 :D (who doesn't)
Not sure if useless but being able to build a Lego robot that could not bump into things in the dark.

May add more later for fun

In for inquisitor.

Thanks to the donors of the games and to Thespian for holding the giveaway!

Skills:

1) Can touch uvula with my own tongue, without tickling me or making me throw up.
2) Can snap my tongue with the ceiling/roof of my mouth and make it sound much louder than snapping my fingers.
3) Can do this weird noise that sounds like a malfunctioning car's muffler by wobbling my cheek repeatedly. Babies love it!
4) Can make tiny sculptures out of Hershey kisses foil wrappers (a horsie of one of them is my Steam profile pic) though that could prove useful... someday.

I'm in, I'd really like a crack at getting Hacker Evolution Duality and if not then Inquisitor. Lets see, what are some useless skills?

*The only thing i can spell in cursive is my full name (like for an application and etc). Cant really read cursive either.....

*I can belch on command (but who doesn't right?).

*I remember where I put just about everything in my room.

P.S. A big round of thanks to ISC, Licurg, and Thespian for making this happen :3
