What story of personal greatness, achievement or success would your co-workers or friends be surprised to learn about you?

Ok, it's a few days later than the QotD was supposed to be, but I think everyone needs to write up a post explaining why he or she is great. Here's my list:
1) I once made the word "questions" on a Scrabble board, landing on triple word score and using up all of my tiles.
2) I can open a screw top beer with my forearm.
3) I think I am the only make-up artist around who could tell you your age, gender, and ethnic background from looking at your bones. (Of course, they would have to be separated from you, but that's just a small inconvenience, really! And if there are any other aspiring forensic anthropologists/part time make-up artists out there, drop me a line!)
4) The other day it was raining, and I pulled over my car to give an old rain coat I had to a homeless girl who was only wearing a pair of jeans and a tank top.
5) I make some pretty kick ass lemon bars.
So, family members and friends out there in Voxland, I want to know why you're great!

Anything and everything regarding pregnancy, such as:
1) The shape of my stomach has no bearing on the sex of my child...you've just got a 50% chance of being right.
2) The same with hanging a rock above it.
3) "If your baby cries in the womb, it will be psychic." There's no air in the womb, people! You need air to make noise!
4) Sitting cross-legged will make the baby bow-legged.
...and many, many more.

Do you consider yourself a patriotic person? Why or why not?
Only for two weeks out of the year, every two years when the summer or winter Olympics is on.

Nabokov. Nobody writes like Nabokov.
