Yeah, that's best - Actually, I just got a butterfly on my leg about 3 months ago - I said i'd never just get a random stupid one that everyone gets, but there i was, with my friend, had a few cocktails, was walking down telegraph right by Berkeley campus (she was visiting from out of town) and i'm all "well, we could get tattoos, and i laughed, but she's like, "ok" then she wanted me to get one and she paid for it. I made up for the butterfly by making it REALLY PRETTY COLORS - plus, it was just a cosmetic tattoo anyways...

but people shouldn't get tattoos when they're 15 anyway

ok, i have to cook some salmon i just noticed i'm starving.

My elbows are double jointed.

OMG - mine are too and it kind of freaks people out

Also, I could without hesitation or straining sing the Queen of the Night's aria from The Magic Flute in full soprano (albeit falsetto) until I was about 34-35 years old

Now - I can do it if I am loaded and cajole my voice into it (or if I am in some other compromised position - although then it is usually a rendition of SWEEEEEEEEEET MYSTERY OF LIFE AT LAST I HAVE FOUND YOU a la Madeline Kahn

) and even then it does not sound that great - BUT in my youth . . . !!!!

Well, I can crack my knuckles really LOUDLY.

When I curl the toes on my left foot, the last two toes stay sticking up.

Also, even though I'm 38 and about 30 lbs overweight, I can STILL do a split! I'm pretty proud of that, actually.

I have like, no immune system. The reason why I'm home now.

Oh, and I also have cat-like eyes. If that's interesting or not. Seriously, I've been told I look like a cat. -_-

I can wiggle my ears without touching them

Thought of another....

I can make just one eyebrow go up.

No one can really see it unless I lean on them and kind of twitch them around, LOL. It's not a party trick I pull out often.

I am assuming the Madeline Kahn aria scenario has something to do with a different double joint, but I perhaps I should not assume....

How about three guesses and the first two don't count ?

I have a double jointed tongue. Seriously. I can roll it on it's side in either direction and I can do that thing where you roll up both sides so they meet. Yes, this ability has been a popular discovery with the opposite sex and that's all I'm gonna say about this particular physical oddity.

I also have a gap between my big toe and my second toe on both feet that you could park a truck between. I can pick things up with my feet too--that's comes in pretty handy, actually.
