What are some useless skills you can do? I can touch my nose with my tongue, make an awesome owl noise with only my hands and blowing (like this) and I can do a pretty good barking dog impersonation.
Received mostly negative reviews.

I can say, 'I am an otter' in Latin, and say, 'Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper' very fast. ;D

I can snap my toes...... yeah......

Folgrimeo

- Snap my fingers.
- Sing the Spanish version of the "Dragonball GT" theme (and I don't even know what it means).
- Complete the first stage of "Bubsy: Encounters of the Furred Kind" in 30 seconds.
- Get through most of Mr. Nutz without cheating (I've completed it in theory).
- Recall the names of all pets I've had, including the few we've briefly looked after on behalf of a neighbor or teacher.
- Chug a warm Sunny Delight small bottle in one gulp.
- Created a screensaver in C# that simply puts a rainbow tint over pictures and makes them translucent so I can see what's going on underneath. It probably hogs the CPU.
- Memorized some of Loganberry's superset of Lapine (Watership Down language). A lay hay Thlayli. Eth, si, des, kes, hrair.

I even tried making a little "don't slack off" picture in Lapine. I know it's not coherent. What I was trying to say is this: "I like you, I don't want you to fail. All I ask is for you to do good work. But if you slack off again, we're done for, and I will kick your [darn] [tail]!"

I can wink, crack my knuckles (does that count? XD), grab things with my toes, sorta speak like a mole,  and eat an entire pizza all by myself in one sitting. Oh yes.

I've always wanted to use molespeech in the middle of an interview or something... 8)

I can crack my knuckles, and touch teh back of my head with my toe.
(Oh, and by the way, I heard that cracking your knuckles makes you more likely to have arthritis, so I don't do it anymore. ;)

I had heard that as well, but it's actually not true. A doctor told my brother it isn't true, and all over the internet it says it isn't true. For example...

I can flare my nostrils, talk really fast, and memorize poems.
