This is a question Unusual talents

B3tans! Can you hum with your tongue? (Your Ginger Fuhrer can and he once demonstrated this to a producer on Blockbusters on the hope of getting on TV) Maybe you can bend your thumb in a really horrid way that makes it look broken. (Your Ginger Fuhrer's other special talent) What can you do? Extra points if you fancy demonstrating this with the odd pic or youtube vid.

I
can type at about 130 wpm on a qwerty keyboard and about 80 on Dvorak (although that's steadily improving).

Not much of a talent these days, but it was sure impressive when I was 11.

130 wpm on a QWERTY?!
That is bloody fast. Proof? ;)

I can type at 220 wpm but I'm a stenographer :D

Errr...
not sure how to prove it really.
I remember when my (now ex) gf was looking for a job (she was an audio typist) and she went to an agency. They sat her in a room and did a typing test. She was around 75 wpm. I then signed up, simply to see, and it was the same as when I was 11 and was tested. 130 wpm. I've obviously hit a speed wall ;-)

Crikey
I've been tested at 75 wpm and that's faster than any of my friends; dismally slower than my mum, though, who was a medical secretary until she retired.

Wow...
I was times at about 80wpm - that's probably down to 50 or so now.

There was a link to this:

As reasonable a test as any...

Just
did 127 on there. In my defence, I'm on a laptop keyboard and I prefer the split type keyboards these days. Plus it was a short test ;-)

EDIT: And Jesus! There were people underneath doing 160 ish!

still a crapload better than me.
I can do 50ish with the wind on my side, and accuracy is about 95%
