Strange but true fun facts about yourself

Hey Neogaf gang,

Post a strange experience, quirk, habit, trait, mannerism, or collectively termed "fun fact" about yourself. The stranger and funnier... the better.

(This is for fun. Keep the strangeness on the light hearted and shallow end of the pool.)
 
I never use font size 13 for anything. Weird suspicion that just stuck.

I will do 12.9 font size and then bump it up to 14.

I have one testicle. The other one never developed beyond puberty and wasn't functioning properly. It got removed last year. My sperm count is still way above average though (crazy, I know).

I have a birthmark perfectly in the shape of the number 5 on my right shoulder. Maybe I'm a secret agent project as a result.
 
I had to get circumcised when I was 15 years old. I lost my little scarf :')

And I've sung with Michael Buble a couple times.
 
I once won a contest I didn't know I was in and a ton of free shit from Newegg including a trip to Vegas, computer, camera, $500 in Newegg gift cards, etc... for posting a joke review.

Here's the review (link is now dead):

It got so many "helpful" clicks that I won "Most Helpful Review."

I met Leo DiCap and had a short convo with him years back.

I don't get brain freeze (ice cream headaches). I could literally eat a gallon of ice cream as fast as possible and nothing. I'd probably vom, but no freeze.

I can twist my tongue right over.

Both my pinky fingers are bent inward.

Though both of these are family traits from my Fathers side.

I went through a phase where all of my poetry was decasyllabic blank verse

I don't have a high school diploma or equivalent. I do have a Bachelor's and am nearing completion of my Master's.
 
I have pencil lead (I know it's not lead) in my hand from 8th grade that's still visible 20+ years later.

Holy shit. Me too!

I was teasing a girl when I was in year 7 and she finally lost it and tried to stab, I think, my eye with her pencil. I stuck my hand out and the pencil buried itself into my palm. Bled like fuck.

Can still see it to this day.

I can whistle 7 different types of ways. I can also shoot liquid from a hole in my tear duct under my eye if I want (it doesn't feel awesome, so I haven't done it in a long time)

I have been in a 'plane crash' (I was in a shuttle that drive from the airport to plane and the shuttle ramed the tail wing of a plane at low speed, nobody got injured but still a funny story).

I was close enough from the pentagon on 9/11 to hear the secondary explosion (that one is not funny).
 
I went to a movie with Roger Ebert.

I came up with the name Gertrude for Runaways.

I'm in pretty much every documentary about John Wayne Gacy.

I look once at a metro area map and never need to use it again after orienting myself. So I don't use gps or maps. It causes more arguments in the car when I decline to need it with nervous passengers. For longer distances like across states, I view it like major arteries and I just remember it somehow, even major exchanges.

Only exceptions are checking for traffic conditions.

I spent over 100 hours practicing driving to get my driver's license, finally got it after three attempts, and two years later I've never driven after that.

I can not leave the closet door ajar in my bedroom. Having it open, especially at night, creeps me out.
 
Second one.

I one time got black out drunk visiting my family in Greece and woke up in an empty Soccer/Football field by a herd of grazing goats all around me.

Fucking Ouzo

I feel like this is a normal human thing. The slightly ajar door becomes an off-kilter element in an otherwise normal space. It's why flickering lights creep people out.
 
My two feet have different sizes. One's a 9 and the other one a 7. I had a huge surgery like 15 years ago because my left foot started to curve like a banana. To this day nobody knows exactly why and my case has been talked about on some health congress in Argentina.

At home, I like to keep the thermostat at a nice, chill 68 degrees. Then, even in summer, I can cuddle up with a blanket.

My family thinks it's bizarre.
