Anyone else here with these odd abilities?
Interesting topic
I can do the vulcan hand sign no problem. Is it really that hard? I dunno. I should ask some other people. I'm really terrible at a lot of physical things otherwise, especially sports that require hand eye coordination.
I don't do the second thing, but I get deja vus all the time. I know where I am because I recognize everything, yet I've never been there before. I'll see a vision in my mind's eye and there it will be, sometimes whole scenes, sometimes only an object. For example, I might think, "Wow, that's odd. I recognize everything on this street. How can I? There's a church if I look way down the street to the left." Then I turn left and there's the church. Other times it's a person or an event, like a dialogue or a happening that I'll see or hear right before it actually happens, kind of like if I were living in a space-time continuum movie...a "Back To The Future" moment in real life.
I can visual the same way you can.
I get premonitions that come true (visual, auditory or sentient).
I feel energy from other life forms (people, animals).
I have an innate sense of direction as well, but only outside. I can always tell NSEW. But, not inside buildings because that blocks the senses.
Do you have a lot of fillings in your teeth, or a metal ass that you got in 'Nam?
HAHA. That was a funny sentence.
I don't see how you can sense it, DemonAbyss. :S You sure you're not subconciously using the light? If there's some reason, and you're right, that's darned useful.
Live long and prosper

I can do the Vulcan salute unaided with both hands
I didn't realize the Jewish background significance of it until just now reading about it and watching a Leanord Nimoy video discussing how he came up with using it.
I had no idea most people find it hard to do. I'm going to go around doing the Vulcan salute all day now! hehe
(maybe I'll get someone to take a pic of my doing it what's my age again?)
Live long and prosper

I tested it and it works in a windowless room. Still cant really explain it way. (and yes they have been doing research into magnetoception more, and more and more mammals are starting to be known to have it, most notably, Cows.)

Hmm, strange. I don't have that ability. XD

well found one of the few good articles on magnetoreception, so ill link it here --->>> http://www.pnas.org/content/105/36/13451.full
as for its existence in humans, experiments are inconclusive, here is a link to another research paper on it --->>> http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6VKN-4CCNXT0-8&_user=10&_coverDate=11%2F11%2F2000&_rdoc=1&_fmt=high&_orig=search&_sort=d&_docanchor=&view=c&_searchStrId=1318096939&_rerunOrigin=google&_acct=C000050221&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=10&md5=d5a426338f9ed8b72f992eacb7d2e4ed

I have a really great sense of direction, but I don't know if it's an attraction to magnetic north (which is so cool, btw!). I always seem to sense where I am on the planet and the direction I'm facing. And I feel my way to places very easily. It's just a sense of where something is and how to get to it.
I never realized that people couldn't do the salute...always have been able to do that.
I can curl my tongue, but lots of people can do that...
I can play by ear...by hearing the intervals in pitch, and reconstructing the chord.
I do math backwards (multiply from left to right, and add the figures; make change by subtracting 1 from the dollars, then doing the change part...

I can do that, I can also do the one where your ring and middle finger touch without touching your pinky or index finger. Never understood why some people can't do these things, they are effortless for me. I guess it's a muscle thing or something.
These are supposed to be hard? I had no idea.

Those were my thoughts on reading #2 as well. I don't think there's anything unusual about it.
I find that creativity works this way as well. Whatever a person draws, composes or writes, it's going to have roots in countless creative influences and experiences they've had over the years, most of which they won't be consciously referencing. I've frequently drawn something I thought was original, then come across an old graphic novel or something years later and realised that the idea was derived from something I saw long ago, but couldn't remember.

This has happened to me before. Once I named an imaginary city "Intrepidville", thinking I had come up with something original, only to find out later that Intrepidville is the name of a city in an old cartoon I used to watch (Lloyd in Space).

Number 2:
I remember in French a few years ago we had the radio on, and it was something like the Great Quiz of Britain, well something along those lines anyway, where the top Quiz people took part in it, and there was a question about what is jail fever, and immediately I thought, oh, I bet its typhus (I dont think Id ever heard of typhus before, and I couldnt tell you what it is now either), so I whispered this to my friend. Anyway, the quiz people, none of them could get it, and lo and behold, the answer was typhus. I was quite impressed really

Weird, isn't it? It's like something is filed away in our brains and pops up now and then, like a mental reference encyclopedia.
this! when a young child in second grade I insisted I knew a song from the new book they gave us in our weekly singing class. When I was unable to tell the instructor where I had learned it from she became short with me and said "just sing it, then!" and I did, in my clear voice on seemingly perfect pitch. I still can sing it and have never encountered the song again in my life. Sometimes I wonder if I don't just pick things up from people, like a sort of radio that you can't adjust the tuning. I mean the music teacher was the only one that knew the song, and when we were looking through the book I asked about the song that caused the music teacher to remember it and I just picked it up in the ether. . . that is not too far fetched, is it?
