    I'm a speed reader. I can look at a paragraph of text and see pretty much all the words at the same time. Similar to the OP, if I have time I can get through a couple of books a week. I was pushed forward a year in primary school as a result of the speed of my reading. My wife is dyslexic so it has caused arguments before if we happen to be reading the same thing.

    My hand eye co-ordination and reflexes are insanely good too. I spent a lot of my youth as a goalkeeper as a result.

    I've got insanely good peripheral vision.

    :D I have that too, used to be very useful when I was teaching as I could be looking straight ahead and giving out to someone acting the fool way off to the side!

    I also used be able to see things happening behind me...or at least my kids thought I could.

    I'm a comedy nerd, I'll often hear someone make a joke and it'll remind me of previous comics who have made the same joke. (I don't mean that in a snarky way, it's sadly true.)

    It used to freak out someone I'd know, because they'd stand just off the side of me and see how far they can get until I can't see them anymore.

    Yeah, well, I can eat After Eights at six.

    Not a single side-effect either.

    I can dislocate both shoulders at will. Still haven't found a use for this super power.

    Squeezing into tight spaces?



    Please don't expand on that!

    Expanding in tight spaces is one of my favourite things!

    If I can somehow get a bit quicker, it could be my specialist subject on Mastermind.
    What was that TV game show where people got asked what star sign someone born on a particular day was ?

    Technically speaking it's already After Eight somewhere in the world.
