This is a question I'm an expert

I spent four years of my life acquiring a PhD. This makes me an expert in the use of transparency in computer interfaces. It's not a hugely useful or interesting expertise, but it's all mine. I'm pretty hot at sitting on the sofa, too.

What are you lot experts in?

Atheism
I've been interested and enthused by starting atheism up as an alternative to religion, and after some bitter struggles with the university I set up the first uni funded 'Atheism Soc'. I've been in formal debates with priests, rabis, and even been to the Vatican to give a seminar on free speech and how atheists should have the right to debate their views without judgement. I've won essay prizes (total worth about £2000), been published in magazines, and been dubbed 'Most likely to worship Satan' by the leading Christian group 'Alpha' in the UK (watch out for Alpha people... they'll ask you if you've 'found jesus' within about 5 minutes of meeting you). I've also had a rather profitable T-shirt business with Urban Outfitters... you may have seen them, they say stuff like 'Jesus Can't Skate' and 'Where's Jesus When You Masturbate?'.
I think total earning is probably around £25,000. Yup, I think I'm the expert.

Rush.
I'm the local expert in Rush, because no-one I know has ever heard of them, much less anything by them (apart from Lee who recalls that Spirit of Radio was on Top Of The Pops once, but the band weren't in so they had Legs'n'Co. doing some irrelevant dancing instead).

However someone on the Top Gear production team must because they used the introduction to 'Animate' (Counterparts album, 1993) as a background sonic bed while reviewing the Lotus Elan that came out (the one with the aluminium rivet'n'bolt chassis). See?

Expert?
I'm a qualified Librarian with 15 years' experience - this actually means I know bugger all about anything useful, but I can usually look it up for you or tell you how to go about finding it for yourself.

Although I do know quite a lot about useless things - I managed to answer most of the questions on 'Doctor Who Mastermind' correctly, for example (embarrassing everyone else in the room at the time)... And a lot about country music as well.

Actually, could this question be restated as 'Why haven't I got a life partner yet?' 'Cos I think I just answered that one by accident.

My Wife

Murders and Bandages
Well, I was once 7 in the world at Cluedo (ok, an internet ladder of 300 people, but still...) so I suppose that must mean Im pretty good :D

Also, Im a qualified First Aid Trainer meaning that I can legally teach first aid to people.

Again, a little sad, but i've trained my ear to reconise every single Beautiful South song within the first 2 seconds - so much so I can not only name it, I can say which album it is from and who the female vocalist at the time was...

...I really need to get out....

licking my elbow
I can pop my right shoulder out of its socket, thus enabling my obscenely long tongue to lick my elbow. Very entertaining, if only I could dislocate my spine.

I am uber lazy
I used to have a stick to close my bedroom door when I was about 15. I didn't even go buy it, it happened to be lying around the house. The stick was later reclaimed by my mother. Before this I had a basketball to throw at the door. It would always come back because it rolled, so I didn't even have to go get it when I wanted it later. This is just a small example of my lazyness. I should have a certificate or a medal or something.

in running along the thin line between "humorously cheeky" and "offensive" in conversation without falling off. Also Taekwon-do.
Being an expert in keeping calm helps in both of these.

gah
I've recently become an expert in the use of the levonorgestrel releasing intrauterine device in the treatment of leiomyoma related menorrhagia.
That's using the coil to help stop women with fibroids gushing blood like an inverted trafalger square when they're on the blob and also the title of a fantastically boring 4000 word essay I handed in yesterday.

We run the car on LPG usually. You're supposed to run it on petrol once a week, we didn't for nearly a year. Injectors clogged, fuel tank full of crap.

English, even though I'm a Yank
I'm a writing tutor; I hate comma splices.
Comma splices are easy to fix with semicolons; sadly, no one seems to know how to use a fucking semicolon.

Well, I'm...
a certified natural health counselor. Two years of natural medicine college when I was 12. The least useful certification ever. My mom thought it would be cool to have a son she could use to make other moms feel bad. Unfortunatley if your friends mom happens to be a nurse and she finds you're a certified doctor of naturopathy you aren't allowed to come over anymore.
