I can guess the weight of a banana to within 10% just by looking at it.

I can get a superking-sized duvet into its cover in a move that only takes a second or two and ends with the bed perfectly made and me already tucked up in it.

I can sniff a condom through my nose, the back of my throat and then pull it out of my mouth.

I can also heal the sick, but the condom trick is more useful.

Yeah - but you're a bit too choosey

That must be quite a treat for whoever's wearing it

I can remove any jar lid with my bare hands. As demonstrated this morning with a half used jar of Marmite which hasn't been opened for months.

I can eat any spicey food of any heat however ferocious and not suffer from ring sting.

I can also drive drawing pins into any wall with just my thumb.

@ Euro, Phew, thought your power was some for of self titillation while typing for a sec, glad you clarified.

I can eat my own weight in pistachios I reckon. Should the need arise for good that is, not for evil.

I seem to be uncannily accurate at guessing my speed on a road bike (when riding without a computer but with people that have them). Commuted with a mate drafting and he shouts something to the effect of "we're cracking along!", I reply "yeah I reckon we're doing X" (redacted so as not to derail into a what's-you-average-road-speed epic) and I was bang on. Which obviously meant I started guessing at various points during our next few rides and I was always seemed to be within +/- 0.2mph.

That, and always waking up before my alarm clock. Me n inverjoe are orphans from the same planet.

I used to be able to guess bike weights to within half a pound, with a quick heft.

Everyone I know seems to have stopped weighing their bikes now though, so I dunno if I still possess this freakish power.

To always be in the way. Where ever I stand in a pub or public place, you can gaurentee within 5 minutes theres a line of people pushing past me even if it's not particularly busy. I'm yet to find a pratical application for this talent

What powers you ask? I dunno how 'bout the power of flight?
That do anything for ya? That's levitation, holmes.

How 'bout the power to kill a yak from 200 yards away...
with mind bullets! That's telekinesis, Kyle.

How 'bout the power to move you?

rent yourself out to struggling venues? Nightclub losing custom to the more hip competition? Stick Sofaboy outside and boom, queue of people jostling to get past.

Restaurants, cafes, theatres, even amusement parks would sign up for that.

Do they have to shine a big "DFS" logo into the sky or would you have an email address?

Do I get 10%?

I have the uncanny ability to make children desperately need the toilet. All i have to do is drop my breeks and settle myself on the pan like a goose on a nest. Within seconds a child will begin furiously hammering on the door demanding entry.
It's a gift and a curse in equal measure. I'm like the Pied Shiter of Hamelin.

Tangling any electrical flex I touch into an impossible to undo mess of knots. Even when I take time to carefully store them or wrap them around a spindle they end up the same. I could could win medals if it was a sport in the Olympics.

I can fix anything with a hammer
I can convince others to fix things for me before I wield the hammer

I once had written - with no apparent attempt at humour or irony - on an appraisal both 'Alex has a singular ability to fire intellectual arrows at the heart of the periphery' and 'Alex sometimes wears his clock of knowledge rather too tightly'.

No idea what either of those meant, but they [i]sound[/i] like superpowers 😉

Most humans have 32 teeth, 8 in each quarter of their respective mouths.

My mutant superpower was to have "nines", an extra pre-molar in my right mandible.

I say past tense because it was cruelly removed by my arch nemesis, a villainous NHS dental surgeon. I shall be avenged.

I have the power of being able to remove the peel of an orange in one piece! I scoff at mere mortals who struggle, hacking away removing small pieces and generally getting covered in orange juice>
Now if I could just work out how to do this silently without the dog hearing me and giving me the saddest of looks that would be great.

I used to work in fine art transport - in the days before sat nav I used to be able to drive into any provincial town I hadn't visited before and guess where the art gallery would be without looking at the map or the address on the delivery note.

I can maintain a chosen cadence and/or heartrate to with 1% for a given time. My coach tells me it's quite unique, very intriguing, but ultimately useless.

I can spontaneously injure myself and not just on mountain bikes

There is video evidence somewhere of me diving from a springboard into the swimming pool and surfacing with a long bleeding cut on my forearm. Clearly not bleeding when I left the board. No contact with the sides or bottom of the swimming pool. Nothing anyone could find in the pool other than water. Freaked out the swimming teacher.
