This is a question Unusual talents

B3tans! Can you hum with your tongue? (Your Ginger Fuhrer can and he once demonstrated this to a producer on Blockbusters on the hope of getting on TV) Maybe you can bend your thumb in a really horrid way that makes it look broken. (Your Ginger Fuhrer's other special talent) What can you do? Extra points if you fancy demonstrating this with the odd pic or youtube vid.

Crunch.

I have hyper-extensive elbows, fingers and knees (probably others but I haven't really checked), and I can thus bend my fingers back to just over 90 degrees, when I lock my knees and elbows out they actually bend backwards about ten degrees (I can't lick my elbows - bugger) and I can crack my arm slightly (but noticeably) out of its socket too, just by using the muscles in my shoulder.

The most common means by which I demonstrate the latter of the three is to basically tell someone* "put your hand on my shoulder" - I then crack the arm out of its socket and release the muscles, letting it slide back into place. To see the look on people's faces when I explain what they are feeling is priceless. I don't think it is fully dislocated although judging by the sensation I get whilst doing it, it probably would snap fully out if I pushed it hard enough.

Weirdly, I can operate either arm normally whilst it is "dislocated".

*Obviously not just random people I see on the street.
