I was born on September 11th.
I've never broken a bone.
I've driven across the continental US twice.
I've taken a train across the continental US twice.
I'm a descendant of Robert the Bruce and Charlemagne.
As I said earlier, the Italian mafia murdered my great-grandfather in the 1950s (and paid off my great-grandmother).
I sat in the middle of a crop circle.

I also find threads like these egotistical and embarrassing, which is why I can't help but participate.

I was born on September 11th.
A rough calculation shows that there are about 155 other people on NS who share your birthday...

I'm the only lawyer I have ever known that has a nose ring.

And I wear it to court.
Seriously, your my lawyer now.

That is, if I needed one...

Hmm odd facts..

I am left handed. (Not that odd)
Not odd so much as evidence of you ruling, as all left handers do.

I was a returning guest for a year on a TV show. It was a show on local cable about computers and the Internet. I was the Webcam Guru Girl..

I have been in magazines for my webcam site (back when it was still the "new" thing to do)

I have been interviewed by many online magazines. I was one of the first non-nude webcam girls on the Internet. The first was The Jenny Cam.
I remember hearing about Jenny Cam. Your cam is never on when I check, though I don't know what I'm expecting to see.

*I have been to the moon
*I invented the Internet
*both neo-cons and liberals swear to policies dreamt up by me
*I am the reincarnation of Joseph of Arimethea, Gorm the Old (aka Gorm of Denmark) and Elizabeth I
*I spout wild and unbelievable stories as fact to seem more important

None of the above make you special in anyway... :p

damn :(

Im a desendant of William the Conquere, yet my grandparents came to my homeland (from Ireland) in prison ships, im dating a German and im living in Australia, my best friends Indian and im living with an Swedish girl, a girl from the Sechells, and a Malaysian (Chinesse) Guy, lifes awesome

Also, i can dislocate my eye muscle's and so can see mono and bi focally, which means i can have periferal vision as good as a horse, the first optomitrist i showed that to had been an optomitrist for over 40years and he said "oh my god, ive never seen anything like that" when he first saw it

and im doing a tripple major at uni of International Business, International Relations and Marketing (yes that is possible) and then i will work at the WTO, then come back to uni and take up the easy life of lecturing :D

One totally random thing, i was nearly beheaded by one of those trollys that the air hostesses bring round with bad food on them, cause when i was 8 (on a flight to the USA from AUS) i was sleeping on the floor, more room, but then i stuck my head into the ile to watch the in-flight movie, and she came at me from behind! didnt see me and plowed straight into me!! (bloody hell i shoulda sued - can you imagine how much i would have gotten from United Airlines for that!)

My mum's maiden name indicates that she (and therefore I) are descendents of one of William the Conquerer's most trusted knights and personal huntsman.

My great great.... great uncle on my dad's side, one William Willett, invented daylight saving time.

That bastard-quite f'n with my clock man!!!

I have different coloured eyes. The right is green. The left is brown, with a small section of green at the top shaped like a slice of pizza.

I do not wear underwear or bras.
Coffee!!!!?????? ;)

Whever I scratch my butt (due to hemerroids) I sniff the fingers afterwards. HAHAHAHAHA :mad:

Anyways...
I am left handed,
have an identical twin. We were born 5 min. apart on different days,
I also have synesthesia,
Speak Russian (can't write it).

I hate Nutella. (http://www.nutellausa.com/) Apparently this is noteworthy according to people.
We can't be friends anymore.

I'm the direct decendent of Edmund Fitzgerald.

Woot for Shipwreaks!

I've also drowned a shark underwater.

What a bunch of freaks...

I have a habit of eating/inhaling strange things... I've swallowed a guitar pick, sucked a piece of grass up my nose and it ended up coming out of my mouth, and sniffed several raisins which never came back.

I'm the one who stole that sock from your dresser.

identical twin
ooo.. twins. sexy

ooo.. twins. sexy

...In BED!

I'm a descendent of William the Conqueror, 4 other Dukes of Normandy, 8 English Kings, 2 Earl of Ormonde's, 2 Earl of Tyrone's, and an Archbishop of Dublin.

Plus countless others I don't know about.

I found out about this this evening.

I have cold urticaria, I'm allergic to the cold.

uhmmm...

I have over sixty allergies, one of which is to roaches.

...In BED!
Not your bed ;)

I also experience instances of pain in small areas of my body when there is no apperent stimuli. It just happened right now with a short pain in a pinprick on my arm.

Not your bed ;)

...Damn!

How about your bed, then?

...Damn!

How about your bed, then?
Not in my bed, or anyother bed. :rolleyes:

Zatarack>> While it is pretty rare, what you're experiencing may be a symptom of Fibro-myalgia. If the pains are numerous and persist, you should ask a doctor to test you for chronic pain illnesses.

I can touch your nose with my tongue.

But I won't, unless asked to very politely, or paid exorbitant ammounts of $$$$. Or unless you are Jerri Ryan. :P

Im suprised they were legitimate enough to send the stuff, never mind the stuff accually working....

i have been known, on occasion, to be completely sober. scarier though, is the fact that i have been called normal by people :eek:

He's a Witch, I'll get the tinder you lot get the haybales.

I am sevrely colourblind but annoyingly mostly Red in my Left Eye and mostly Green in my Right, which is the wrong way round for 3d Films and comics (bah) I also have very very Light Grey Iris. (and due to mass halleucigenic fungus injestion 1 summer when I was 6 I also know I am a Cat in human form)

Hmm. A few things:

1. Double jointed in the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hip joints, knees, and ankles.

2. Average reading speed around 5000 wpm.

3. A lot of useless trivia is locked in my head.

Excellent another speed reader, mine used to be about that I now do around the 3.5k mark if I can be arsed, it's a long time since I took a test to find out, used to freak people out on the train it looked like I was flicking through my book looking for pictures <G> or at school I'd get told to read a section in a Physics theory book or such supposed to fill a half hour or so, an I'd be done in a little over 3 minutes, It can really freak them out.

I also used to be able to read by memorising entire pages of text and reading them back to my self when asleep I can still some times refer to page numbers and quote from some books if prompted correctly.

How did you learn to read so fast? That just seems impossible. :confused:

its not imposible, it just takes time to learn how to prosses information quickly i am a speed reader as well , altho i have never taken a test to find out exactly how fast of a reader i am.

How did you learn to read so fast? That just seems impossible. :confused:

Dunno, Dont Read the word read the paragraph, Can only do it on Paper, Cant really do it from screen although I can do the photographic memory, problem I have is finding a recall stimulus, When I was studying full time (some 15 years ago and such) I would normally on presentation of a new text book 'Read' the entire lot into memory in an hour and lucid dream read it over the night assigning keys and ratings so that it could be recalled.

with reading now I only read that quick when I want to read (new peter hamilton or Iain Banks novel for example) problem is I like to read them slowly and immerse into the book even so with practice can now make a good book last 3hours or so.

people like you scare me. and make me damn envious.

i'm dyslexic and it takes me weeks to read a damn book. i love reading but it takes so long that i tend to get bored and drift away or start another before finishing the one i'm on (i have a stack of about 15 or so half-read books on my bedside table as a result :headbang: )


that said if it depends on the book. gormenghast = weeks. harry potter = a week (heh, gotta love kids books ;))

heh, gotta love kids books
hell yes you do.

unfortunately i got addicted to harry potter (as in, seriously addicted. i had to have the books taken away from me and barred access to them or any HP-related website for over a month until i returned to somewhat normal. i'm still having trouble, but i just got the first book back 3 days ago on a trial basis and so far i'm fine :) )

which leads to another curiosum. basicaly a cool trivia about my ex-neighbor. she ot addicted to nutella, real bad case, she had to go to some kind of clinic and stay there for several weeks. i don't know about other countries, but here in gemany there apparently are special nutella-addict-clinics as it seems to spread. seriously. not making anything up in this posts.

wow plenty of addictive personalities over there in germany :p

tho i don't blame you on the HP one (actually, or the nutella one either) cos its so damn engrossing... and if you've got a decent imagination you can get lost in the world for hours. its a world similar enough to the real one to be easy to do this, but different enough to make in enthralling and interesting - unlike something like Tolkein, say, which is harder to 'explore' in your own head... (at least thats how it is for me) so i can see how that could lead to a HP addiction, yeah :P

and just to tempt you...

and if you've got a decent imagination you can get lost in the world for hours
i know *i* can...:)

oh and i read the 6th the moment it came out..in english..so no way you can tempt me..HARHAR!

Double jointed in my hands, I can bend my thumb so that it points straight back from my hand.

Dont Read the word read the paragraph
WTF does that mean?

WTF does that mean?
insted of reading every word just " skim" so to speak and read on the words that jump out at you

I hate Nutella. (http://www.nutellausa.com/) Apparently this is noteworthy according to people.

How can you hate Nutella!? :eek:

Indeed it is. Nutella is so good you can only love it, and to boot, it can survive anything. I've been eating the same jar of nutella for a year and a half! I rarely indulge in it, you see.

It is also on my short list of things that will survive a nuclear apocalypse and still be tasty (it's in there between cockroaches and Keith Richards).

(obscure family guy reference)

It was honoured in Simpsons too, you know.

*Homer squeezes twinkie in rage, then throws it to the floor and leaves Kwik-E-Mart*

Apu: Stupid customer! You cannot destroy a twinkie!

I will mock you for that.

(Of course, I can't afford Nutella, so I buy a Generic knock-off that is actually a little less sweet, and therefore better IMO...)

"Crackhead Kneel"

Smunkee was a rocker? I darn not google this...

shocking isn't it. :eek:
I had pink hair and a tounge ring and wore ripped up black clothes a patent leather mini skirt and trashed netted stockings. yeah I was a wild child. I was punk before Hot Topic made it so trendy. I had to go to thrift stores to get my vintage concert shirts, I had to take sissors to my own clothes and *gasp* stock up on make up and stuff at the after Halloween sales.

I look at the "freaky" kids today and I so want to give them my own version of the "when I was a kid...." story. ;)

Why do you people think Nutella is disgusting. Nutella tells us that god wanted us to be happy, as well as beer.

Nutella haters= :mp5: :gundge: :sniper:

I have climbed two mountains over 4000 meters high. And I also hate Nutella!

I'm deaf in my right ear.

No, really, bummer. My wife's deaf in one ear too and that really sucks.

I'm deaf in my right ear

i was for 2 years until about 3 months ago when they removed some kinda tissue that had grown weirdly so that it blocked my ear canal. man, you can't believe how the world changes if suddenly you can hear w/ 2 ears again..

I can lick my elbow

You sure are one lucky guy!

one lucky girl that'd be ;)
(just to add to the confusion: sowibi and NH are ruled by the same player)

and yes lucky indeed i am. i never noticed i lost my hearing when the thing started to grow as it was a gradual process until i realized that i wouldn't hear it when somebbody approached me from the right and tried to talk to me, and then i went and had tests, and they said my hearing was basically gone but those fuck-ups said that it was something one couldn't repair and i'd just have to deal, and so i did for over one-and-ahalf years and then i read something on the internet about this..and i went to a different doctor..and it all turned out the way it is today. mna, i cried out of relief when he told me i'd be able to hear again in, like, a week.

I'm a closet emo

enough said

I'm twisted and don't show emotion unless necessary.

Whoa, I go away for a few days and my cute widdle thread has become a monster! 22 pages of NS-poster trivia...zounds!

If I asked you to pick one fun-fact about yourself, what would you choose?

i use to be kinda goodlooking,had a bunch of girlfriends..had a car accident and lost half my teeth(no insurance) and now that i am older lost some hair...lol
now i cant get nothing but friends....woohooo

seriously,fun fact.....hmmmm

i can pick up any sport/activity/game and within minutes,understand it and excel at it(no i cant play pro ball)but i can pick up a bat and hit the ball,hop on a motorcycle and ride it like nothing..fast

i can also take things apart and put them back together like i made it.

I have walked away from no less than two motorcycle accidents and a car accident each of which should have killed me. My last MC accident I had my rear tire blow out on me doing 70mph on the interstate in Phoenix az. All I have from the wreack are a couple of light scars and a little nerve damage under my hairline.

opposite...funny as shit really,i got a 2003 gixxer750(totally modded) and ihave had it many times over 150(a few times with a few too many)and never got a scratch.

I found more interesting things to do with my time.
The band broke up (over a guy) and then I went into a different band (that sucked) and met my husband, fell in love quit going to band practice, got married had kids and the rest is history.

My 4 year old is starting a band and she has let me in temporarily because she needed a bass player. She is playing the drums and her sister (2 year old) is on lead guitar (she can only play G) we are having fun with that. :) I figure I should encourage it, since it seems to be helping them learn math and stuff. :) That and playing bass kicks :D

Trivia about me?

Not much. I've almost died a few times

Also. I'm almost addicted Tesco's Muscadet [sp?], not only is it quite noce. It is also under three quid.

I have no feeling in a section of my shin.

ACL surgery?

I am 21 and fly half million dollar aircraft.

I am left handed,
have an identical twin. We were born 5 min. apart on different days,
I also have synesthesia,
Speak Russian (can't write it).
I was kinda freaked out when I read this. All of those apply to me except the "We were born 5 min. apart on different days" part. Otherwise its all true about me. What are the odds?

If you want something a little more original...

I have gotten detentions on the first and last day of the same schoolyear.

I only have one functional testicle. The right one works, the left one is there, but was disconnected due to an injury I had as a child.

Playing bass is awesome. I play bass and do backing vocals for two bands. One's a black metal band, and one's like a doom/goth band. Quite fun.

I wish I had started playing an instrument at age 4, I'd be so good by now. Your kids are lucky.

yeah I know. I tried not to push them into it the way my parents pushed me (I play 12 string accoustic, bass, sax, viola, cello. piano, drums, and pipe organ) they just showed interest in music so I let them play with my stuff when they were babies (kinda like other moms give thier kids pots and pans to play with) They really enjoy it. If one day they don't, hey that is cool too, at least I will have the memories of fun :D

Wow... you are very skilled. It's good not to push people too hard, though, I mean, I enjoy the instruments my parents didn't push me to play (bass, guitar, mainly bass, though) more than those they did (trombone, piano). I think it would be good if people were more exposed to music at an earlier age.

A second fun fact: I have no idea what Nutella is. ^^

Yay for ignorant Americans, yeah? *waits for the mockery to begin*
Hell I'M an American and i'll mock you for that, Nutella is the ambrosia of spreads.

not really skilled. they are all kinda similar. sorta. anyway my parents found out I was "gifted" and tried to turn me into some kinda musical prodigy. I kept wanting to quit which they interpreted into "try another instrument" I would never do that to my kids. I try to watch for what they are interested in and encourage that, I mean how much can you realistically learn if you are miserable anyway.

i have a very large tounge lol :p

i have a very large tounge lol :p

I was bungee-jumping off a bridge once, and the cord snapped. I broke both my legs.

that's why i'd NEVER EVER bugeejump..spoilsport, i know.

just remebered another fun fact: i love [insert plural of cactus here], but so far every one i had died because it didn't egt enough water..i know i can't handle ordinary plants but even [insert plural again] die on me... :(

The correct plural is "cacti" (really)...or Kakteen, as you surely know ;) glad to see you, want some nutella?

I was bungee-jumping off a bridge once, and the cord snapped. I broke both my legs.

Luky you, look under "darwin award" ;)

I absolutely hate it when anything or anyone touches my right side. For some reason I'm deeply disgusted by livers, and that sensation forces me to think about the fact that one of the buggers is inside me.

Incidentally, I don't mind eating liver. It's actually rather good.

My first kiss was with an Australian Idol contestant.

The correct plural is "cacti" (really)...or Kakteen, as you surely know
actually..it is either cactuses or Kaktusse. (the first one you can look up in any dictionary, mine being the oxford standard; the second one is widely disputed, but you'll find sources telling you that it has become an official plural because of so many people using it over 10 years ago..some goes for Atlasse, by the way)

triia facts. hmm. i know a person who's vgetarian like me, but she's freaky (and, in my eyes, irresponsible) enough to feed her dog on a veggie diet as well :rolleyes:

My first kiss was with an Australian Idol contestant.
before or after the unfortunate incident?

I was bungee-jumping off a bridge once, and the cord snapped. I broke both my legs.
that's why you use a nylon rope, the plastic has just enough strech (shows you're hardcore)
too much GTO for me, lol

- i hate whispering. more specifically, i hate it when people whisper into my ear... it creeps me out
- i have that wierd hearing thing i made a thread about once (some sounds heard in my right ear cause pain elsewhere in my body)
- i have not a jot of muiscal ability and get very easily jealous of those who do (especially the naturals *glares at Callisdrun and Smunkeeville*)
- i love to smell the air, particularly at different times of year. it always has different qualities, subtle changes & its own character, always bringing back memories
- actually, on that point, my memory works very oddly. i can't remember shit if someone says "remember such&such", but smells, atmosphere, mood and lighting - the ambiance of a place - brings back memories and memories of feelings i've often long 'forgotten' far more vividly and easier than recalling something at will (but maybe this is normal, i dunno)

Don't feel jealous because Smunkeeville and I know how to play an instrument and you don't, Pure Metal. You are way more insteresting than me in other ways.

The smell thing is kinda interesting, cause I have a really strong sense of smell, too. I remember the way my ladyfriend smells, for instance, almost as much as I remember the way she looks (we have a long-distance relationship right now), and other smells are very powerful for me as well. Like the smell of rain, for instance. One of my favorite smells.

If I asked you to pick one fun-fact about yourself, what would you choose?
Bottle! Where have you been stuffed up into lately?
There's been quite a few good arguments that would be blessed to emblazen your posts!

FUN FACT about Straughn:
I have every known body hair colour in various places on my body.

heh don't worry - its envy, not jealousy (a mild but important difference methinks). its partly spurred by living with a music natural (such as yourselves) and guitar-master at uni... and then an old friend of mine picked up a bass and within 3 months he was great at it. then he picked up a guitar and within 4 months he was better than me after 5 years of playing. then they formed a band together and i had to stand on the sidelines like a lemon with my thumb up my butt :(

and yeah, rain (especially rain on hot tarmac) is something of a special smell, and a very nice one indeed :)
if you have a good sense of smell and ever get the opportunity to, i advise taking a whiff of different teas and blends - nothing quite like it in terms of sublety of flavour & aromatics

I've had many difficulties getting bands started, myself, so it's incredibly weird being in two right now, even if one of them is only two people.

I've never smelled rain on hot tarmac, or hot anything, for that matter. It only rains when it's cold here. So, the smell of rain is a late-fall/winter/early-spring smell for me.

i thought california was always hot :D

but yeah, in britain it rains whenever the hell it feels like it, so in the summer you get the most weird smells...

I love the smell of rain, I really like severe weather, it calms me, tornadoes are the best.

I have gotten detentions on the first and last day of the same schoolyear.Ooooh!
I got suspended for 5 days right before exams for using the boys' loo in the tech wing (the only washroom in the tech wing) of my school in protest.
I was proud of that suspension, especially of sitting in the VP's office when she was trying to "impress upon me the gravity of the situation", and eventually had to resort to calling my mother. It was obvious, even just from the half of the phone conversation that I heard, that my mother was schooling my VP hard. It rocked.

Ooooh!

lol. Any trouble I got in at school was for not getting my planner signed. In Grade 7, I had the best grades in the class (hell I did grade 8 math) but, I got detentions daily for not getting my planner signed by my mother. They thought, if I had my planner signed every day, I would be better organized, thus getting better marks.

I once glued one of my fingers to one of my thumbs (they're not kidding when they put "bonds skin" on the glue tube).
Another time I sewed one of my thumbs to one of my fingers (with a hand sewing needle).

Perhaps I should skip 'handi-crafts'...

PS, I dont like nutella...

My teachers thought that I was bsing when I "forgot my backpack at home", lost assignments, forgot to get things signed for months etc. trouble is, I was always telling the truth. I still have some of the same problems, and I'm almost 18.

My school just didn't want the rest of the kids to know the best student was a dis-organized slacker who doesn't study. Because of this, they tried to force organixation down my throat. The teacher knew I wasn't BSing when I said it would take me a week to hand in my permission slip, or that I would need about 8 of them. I don't need a week to get a permission slip in anymore, although I am less organized. I usually do not find out about a test/quiz until I enter the class the day of.

I usually do not find out about a test/quiz until I enter the class the day of.I was late for French class 4 times this past week, and my mummy got a call from my teacher. :D
We also had two tests, one reading comprehension and one grammar, and I found out about both of them the day of (my teacher writes "TEST" on the board, which would be a helpful last second heads-up, if I had arrived at school early enough to cram in a few seconds of review). I scored 95% on both tests.
I also get called out of class for those idiotic "gifted" meetings, then antagonize the principal (and co-ordinator of the IEP program at my school) about how she is contributing to global over-population.
I forgot to mention that the other thing I get in shit for all the time is my intense hatred of "authority". I called my VP a skank whore when she busted me for smoking on school property. The snow in the pit was knee-deep, and I was expected to stand in that or get fined $120 (my fine to the government of Canada is still outstanding). Bitch.[/rant]

why do you have to pay the government of canada?

why do you have to pay the government of canada?On the list right now: smoking on school property, public drunkenness, and intoxication under 19 years of age.

that sucks so much, the police here caught me yesterday, drunk, buying alcohol, and littering (i smashed a bottle on there car.) and they just said go home. p.s. im 16 and here you have to be 18 to buy drink.

I have Asperger's syndrome.

I was only charged with public intoxication and intox under 19. I was having sex in public, and when the cops questioned us, I got beligerent and abusive, then resisted arrest and assaulted an officer. I spent the next several hours screaming obcenities at the top of my lungs in lock-up. The guy I was with didn't even get arrested. I'm 17, so usually they give respectable looking white kids a break, but I kind of made it impossible for them to let it slide. :eek:

You're thinking of Southern California, the shithole we call "LA."

San Francisco, often as not, especially in the winter, has somewhat dreary weather.

No tornados here... lol. Fog actually has a pretty interesting smell, though.

ah yeah thats true... your own little microclimate up there in SF or something. i've been there twice, beautiful, lovely city - fell in love straight away (being the gentle hippie type anyway) and wanted to move there for a few years. now i've changed my mind in favour of amsterdam :p

Yeah, the San Francisco bay area's a neat place as far as that goes, but actually, the further you go up the coast of California, starting at like, Santa Cruz, the colder and rainier it gets. The inland is dry and hot, though it snows in the Sierras. San Francisco I think, at times, aspires to be the Amsterdam of the US, ha ha.

My first kiss was with an Australian Idol contestant.

before or after the unfortunate incident?

Depends which unfortunate incident you are refering to, as there have been a couple. :confused:

I could beat Muhammed Ali in a Boxing Match.

So cruel, however, at leats you aren't renowned for being emo :(

I bet you Ali is about the right age & conditioning for Anthony Mundine to fight.

due to certain situations that arose... I have a Television in every room of my apartment.















yes, even in the bathroom. :D

I have nice legs and look good in a revealing dress?

I have a toy lobster called theodore.

As good as any other trivia, I guess ;)

I taught myself to read :D

Well, almost. I had some magnetic letters when I was really little, and I arranged them on a magnetic board to make something like...

"Cvksnsogspnahafiobsz"

And I'd go up to my mum or dad and ask them what it said, and they obliged by saying it phonetically (no mean feat). Eventually I came to learn what all the letter sounds were.

I also love both Indie music and Motown.

I'm double-jointed in both thumbs (boring trivia)

I was born in Madrid, have Polish blood, and live in Australia (confusing trivia)

One of my (many) middle names, Ismael, is spelt without the 'h' (pointless trivia)

I broke my nose by, wait for it: Flipping over the handlebars, and somehow proceeding to get my nose stuck in the bike chain as it dragged for another few metres... (quite shocking trivia)

I hold passports for three different countries (all legitimate).

No illegitimate passports?

For shame.

I have been in a music video clip.

Can you MS Paint/Photoshop me something of how it might happen?

Can you MS Paint/Photoshop me something of how it might happen?
if i was less lazy, yes :p

i can describe what i'm imagining, its easier: chain wrapped in a figure-of-8 with the bottom part round the person's nose, being dragged along the ground with their head facing upwards, the chain getting tighter and tighter round their nose as the bike pulls away from them down a hill.... owch :eek:

of course i dunno if thats how it happened (or if thats actually possible) but its what i saw in my head, and what made my own nose shriek in fear :P

I think it wasn't caught just in the chain, but here (http://www.globetrotter.nl/images/tandwiel.jpg)

I hate Nutella. (http://www.nutellausa.com/) Apparently this is noteworthy according to people.

The Zone has a new master! Nutella - is too nutty and ikky....

So of course you would look better out of this dress right?;)
