I was just watching youtube videos of people doing crazy card manipulation tricks, and I thought to myself, "Man, I wish I had an awesome but useless talent." And then I realized, wait- I do! I can juggle!
I taught myself sometime early on in high school after my brother got pretty good at it. I used one of those "klutz" books, which was pretty instructive. I can do your basic maneuver proficiently, and I can do a few tricks too. I'm a real entertainer in the produce isle at the grocery store.
So does anyone else here juggle? Or do you have some other fun useless talent?

I would of gone for the Bacon option, as I love Bacon... but I didn't!
I can juggle, but only with 2 things and not that fast! So far from 1337 indeed.
I don't really have any useless talents. Unless you want to call having double jointed thumbs a useless talent.... I can bend them in funny posistions and make them touch my wrist without any pain...

I can't juggle. As far as useless tricks though? I don't think I have any. I'll get back to you on that.

I can scream. You know...that high pitched, ear splitting, blood clogging scream. It scares the crap out of people, even if they know I'm in the room. Quite useless. :devil:

I can kind of, sorf of, juggle. Like, I can take three objects and maybe keep them up for two complete cycles. I'm really bad at it. But this (http://www.wfu.edu/~warrings/personal/juglist.html) is what my math professor can do :p

holy crap! That guy is nuts! I once had a match teacher who was an absolute yo-yo master (yo-yos are another of my little talents-- I can do a number of tricks) --what is it about math teachers?
Anyway, to juggle more than three objects, you need to learn circle juggling, which involves throwing the objects so that they move in a circular path. I think this is the next thing I'm gonna try and learn. I can't imagine juggling nine of anything, though.

Friends call me Mr. Minesweeper because I can usually finish the expert level in under 3 minutes. Closest thing to a useless talent I have.

Nice. My best is 6 minutes.

Bacon!
If somehow injuring myself on a daily basis is a talent, then I'm a master!

I tried it twice and found out I'll never be able to juggle..
My worthless talent is that I can solve rubix's cube within a minute. That was cool in the 80's but it's not the 80's anymore now is it?

Useless... One thing would be having the ability to bend my neck around someone elses and then tighten, but of course I don't really count that as a talent, more as an ability of a stretchable neck :scared:
And the way that I usually use it for its not worth it, so I guess its useless unless I actually tried harder with it :shifty:

As I suspected- Bacon takes a commanding lead. It's hard to argue against.
