    For me? I can't see anything in those magic eyes.. I think everyone is playing a practical trick on me, because I stare at them, stare through them, stare at my finger and NOTHING! I don't see a boat, or a duck, or whatever it is they show :(

    What about you? What can't you do!?

    I used to never be able to see them "magic eye" pics either, then I saw one that had two dots above it that you were to stare at first and now I can see them. (you're not missing much tho' dlofnep)

    I have no sense of smell, does that count?

    I don't have proper stereo vision so I can't see those "magic eye" pictures or watch films shown in 3D. It's not something I can fix through better technique either, my left eye is largely ignored by my brain because it was lazy (still is) when I was a child so now it's only used for peripheral vision.

    Thats what the man in the black outfit used to say to me years ago when I went up for communion.

    So he wanted me to whistle....in a really quiet place?? Huh, go figure!

    I can't start motors where you have to yank the chain to get them going. Like a lawn mower for example. I usually end up breaking them in the process of trying.

    I can't do anything. I'm literally the least physically capable person I'm aware of. Sometimes, even I'm surprised by just how shít I am sometimes.

    Another one for "I can't see 3d images'. Everytime a new big-budget 3D movie comes out my heart dies a little bit more. As we speak the studios are mocking me with their Coraline posters. :( It's bad enough now but I may have to kill myself upon the release of Avatar.
