I only have one ball.

The left one got tangled up somehow during development and died off as far as i know.

Fun fact: The same thing happened to Mao Tse-Tung and Bruce Lee.

I have one attached and one unattached earlobe.

When I have certain sexual thoughts, I get an involuntary sneeze reaction.

It’s not all sexual thoughts, just the ones I find inappropriate.

Like, I when I first started fooling around with my girlfriend, (now my wife), at her mom’s house where we could get caught by her slightly younger sister, it happened a lot.

But fooling around in general wouldn’t cause the sneeze, unless I was about to suggest something a little naughtier than normal.

My wife knows now, so when we’re in bed and I sneeze, her first reaction is to ask if it’s an innocent sneeze or something else.

It’s only gotten me in trouble once or twice, like when her girlfriend casually mentioned threesomes and I sneezed immediately, which kind of pissed off my wife because she knew it wasn’t an innocent one.

Thankfully, her friends and sister don’t know about my sneeze reaction.

My hands turn blue when it’s cold.

When it’s very cold they also have orange dots.

Brains are part of the body, right?

I have Prosopagnosia (face blindness), which means that I do not recognize or remember faces.

I can look at someone, turn around, turn back, and I won’t recognize their face. I don’t recognize my coworkers, friends, or family by face.

I have a lot of funny stories related to this…

I have (twice) met a coworker while not at work, had them greet me, and had to BS my way through an entire conversation, because I had no idea who they were. Same person. Twice.

Somewhat sad but really interesting story: My partner was hospitalized about a year ago.

His mother lives about about a 3 hour flight away, and she couldn’t come see him immediately. When she came in, I was still driving over, because I’d gone to work that morning to pick some stuff up, and when I walked in, I didn’t recognize her.

She has beautiful hair, a very interesting color. I didn’t realize she dyed it, and it had grown in grey between when she heard and when she came.

I asked if she was a nurse… Fortunately, she’s wonderful and totally understood.

Presentations are the bane of my existence.

I had a friend at school who could do uncanny imitations of our professors. She also had some kick-ass tattoos, which were great for identifying her.

She knew I was face blind, but not quite how face blind, until she came up to me imitating a professor we shared.

Not only did I fall for it, she walked right up to me, ‘assigned’ some reading I’d missed, and walked off (small department, final year. This wasn’t altogether unusual).

The only reason I was remotely suspicious was that the professor wasn’t a talking-to-students type. She was wearing a jacket that covered her tattoos, and I had no idea who she was.
