		<description>I have memorized all the digits of 2 and all the capital letters of all the States (hint: none of them start with X). I can draw an almost perfect map, or at least outline, of Kansas and Colorado.  I can operate brake pedals with my hands and kick a hand ball with my foot.

One time I threw a rolled up piece of paper all the way from one end of the room to a wastebasket at the other end of the room and it almost went in.

I can say palindromes backwards just as fast as most people say them forwards. I can balance a ball on the palm of my hand while twirling a loop in my mind.  I once counted to a higher number than anyone had ever counted to before, I&apos;m pretty sure. 

I just thought you should know.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~susan/joke/essay.htm&quot;&gt;Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>He got pi wrong. 3.14159265358979323846264338327950...he left out the zero. Now if I could just get that number out of my head I&apos;d have a few brain cells so I could remember my wife&apos;s cell phone number.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.&lt;/i&gt;

I can juggle six balls, though not all at the same time.  I can name all the presidents, because I give them dirty smutty names.  My memory is so strong that I can&apos;t remember the last time it wasn&apos;t.  I met &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Most_Interesting_Man_in_the_World&quot;&gt;the most interesting man in the world&lt;/a&gt; and he said &lt;i&gt;&quot;Damn, you&apos;re more interesting than I am!&quot; and bought me a beer.

I&apos;ve translated Shakespeare from English into Farsi and back into English again, without a single mistake; and I have the final translation to prove it. I can eat pigs feet with chopsticks and play Chopsticks with my toes.  I once alphabetized the digits of Pi, though not necessarily in that order.&lt;/i&gt;</description>

Nice Dutch accent.</description>

		<description>I wonder if this guy actually thinks that any of these &quot;feats&quot; are amazing, or if he thinks that people are stupid enough not to realize that these are all either simple party tricks or achievable with a moment&apos;s practice and a handfull of takes.

Either way, this guy reminds me of way too many &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyvbFMGmImg&quot;&gt;assholes I&apos;ve known&lt;/a&gt;.</description>
