strange facts about ourselves

[Tadpole]

I find cactuses to be calming.

[hazelspikes]

I have a suede jacket (actually in my picture), that everybody pets.  Usually, its a bunch of musicians, so its fun and not creepy at all.  Everybody seems shocked that I got it at Goodwill (cue "Thrift Shop").

[Mayonnaise]

My Tabletop DMs put me in charge of mood music because I have a ->-bleeped-<- ton of show scores to fit every occasion. They continue to do this even though I troll them relentlessly with lyrical music selections whenever the plot starts to remind me of a song. (i.e. Cueing up "Following the Leader" from Disney's Peter Pan after the fourth time the party is asked to "Follow me," by an NPC within an hour. Or Yackety Sax just.... any time things get convoluted in battle.)

[Edge]

I can't whistle or snap my fingers.

Not while you're eating potato chips!

I'm able to smell ketones and am able to tell if anyone has ever died in a building or a room. What's more I'm usually able to pinpoint the exact location where they died.

I can remember freaking my former wife out the first night we moved into our apartment in 1996. Lying in bed I asked her 'Who's died in this bed?'

'My great grandmother back in 1983,' she replied, 'How did you know?'

You must be psychic?

You must be psychic?

Well yes I am as it happens. But there's also a few issues which clouds things.

Would you care to go into more detail? You have made me curious!

[King Malachite]

right after I lock the door when I go out, I bang on it 12-24 times just to make sure it's locked

[Edge]

Hoo doo that Voo doo that you do so well?

You do.

[foosnark]

If I have graph paper, time, and nothing better to do with it, I fill pages with Celtic knotwork.

My new job blocks a lot of websites, and so while code is compiling... lots and lots of knotwork.

[suzifrommd]

When I count on my fingers, I count in binary.

I can count up to 31 using one hand and more than a thousand if I use both hands.

[foosnark]

When I count on my fingers, I count in binary.

That's kind of brilliant.  Awkward getting some patterns of fingers to stick up though, I would think.  Also, people might find 4 a little rude.

[Darkie]

I can hear the buzz of florescent lights.  Drives me nuts. 

[jesseofthenorth]

I can 'smell' thunderstorms long before they actually happen.

[JoW]

I've got four freckles on my forearm which form a perfect square.

[Shantel]

My dermatologist is attempting to give me nice looking skin. She isn't fooling me one bit, she took one look at me and saw an opportunity for a lifetime of job security! 

[Jamie D]

I like lime Jello mixed with cottage cheese and crushed pineapple, topped with a dollop of mayonnaise.

[Shantel]

I love fat free cottage cheese covered with black pepper. The neighbor said, "Ugh that looks disgusting, what the h-ll are you eating!"
