What are your worthless skills?
-
While I was running up the stairs some minutes ago, something that I usually find myself thinking is that I have several skills that are really worthless. For example, I am very good at walking and running silently. And they are worthless because: 1 - I'm not a criminal 2 - The job market for Ninjas is really low nowadays. I have many skills that I'm really good at but are worthless because they don't matter anymore or it makes no difference in my life or in other people's lives. What are your worthless skills?

- I can run about 22 MPH, though I suppose that could be useful for outrunning some animals.
- I know how to flick my throat to use it as a musical instrument, which I learned from an episode of MacGyver (from a character played by Bruce McGill, IIRC).
- I can crack my knuckles repeatedly for a virtually unlimited number of pops. And I only need one hand to do it.
- I can contort my stomach into a shape that seems impossible.
- I can play DDR for at least 6 hours straight.
- I can program in VB.Net.

Sword, dagger and halberd fighting spring to mind. Not much call for those skills these days (if I ever have to use those skills in anger, you can guarantee I won't have the equipment with me at the time...). Then there's being capable of walking or cycling significant distances without listening to music. That seems to be a bit of a lost art here in Bournemouth.

Speaking French. The only times I have used it is when reading through the wine lists :) To be honest, it's a beautiful language, but quite hard to learn.

Same here (at a beginner level). Though, I haven't even tried reading a French menu yet. I'll have to see if I can find a place to do that.

When I was in 6th grade, I memorized the names of the first 20 elements of the periodic table and the value of Pi to ten places. These skills came in very handy that year, but have since proved to be of absolutely no use. /ravi

I think I know pi to around 23 places. Let's see... 3.1415926535897962684323 And the actual digits are... 3.1415926535897932384626 Darn, I always mix up the "323" and "626".
