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.

Many years ago I memorized ..
.. the full name of Johann Gambolputty [..] of Ulm, from the Monty Python sketch. These days I only remember half his name, up until the Grumblemeier part. I guess I could easily pick the rest up again if I studied it a but. However, it has turned out to be an exceptionally useless talent so I guess I won't bother.

I also remember the full German lyrics for 99 Luftballons. Actually contributed to getting me laid once long ago, so at least that wasn't a waste of time.

I can still remember most of my Python scripts
It's a talent I'm rarely called upon to demonstrate these days. But I do occasionally trot out the one from Rutland Weekend Television that begins "Ham sandwich, bucket and water plastic duralex, rubber MacFisheries underwear"

I failed miserably.

tee hee
I know the beginning bit of the Lone Ranger song by Quantum Leap. It's mostly a New Zealand place name, reputedly the longest in teh world, but then they tagged some extra bits on. I learned it phonetically but now the internets means I can look it up. Although my version has an extra line that doesn't appear in those lyrics.
