I can feel colours with my fingertips.
How?
Nothing supernatural, if you get two things otherwise exactly the same, such as gaming pieces or Smarties, the different colours feel subtly different, probably due to the chemicals used. Try it and see. Yellow is an easy one to start with, it feels slimy. Blue is slightly rough. Red is smooth. It takes practice.

Different thermal properties?

Do you also have a "radar sense"?

I think that's called Synesthesia.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Yeah, I've heard of people who "see" the sounds they hear when their eyes are closed. Their senses kind of bleed over into each other.

I spent the first year of my life living in a pre-fab house on the grounds of a nuclear research facility.
That explains a lot. Let me guess, all your relatives are just five-foot nothing, right?

No, we are all this big...

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

That's why Martinus, for all his spending on the trappings of wealth and taste, will never really have class.  He's just trying too hard to be something he isn't (an intelligent, tasteful gentleman), trying desperately to hide what he is (Polish trash with money and a severe behavioral disorder), and it shows in everything he says and does.  He's not our equal, not by a mile.

I can twiddle my thumbs in opposite directions.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

My Grandmother was Canadian, maybe it's a racial trait. :Canuck:

I admit, with some shame, to have derived some sadistic pleasure from showing others how to do it and then watching them be unable to.  :blush:

I went to the national rifle competition last year, where the 100 shooters with the highest score become the President's Hundred.
My score was number 978.
Shamefully defeated.
