FYI, in my past I:
1) was hit by lightning
2) have had brake cleaner, rust, soldering flux, and a liquid-core peppermint in my eye (not all at the same time).
3) was electrocuted to the point of throwing a circuit breaker (I interrupted an Uninterruptible Power Supply on a badly grounded rack).
4) have owned over 50 cars in the last few years, and the shortest time between buying and selling a car was 2 hours.
5) never dated my wife until after we were married.
6) got violently ill almost every year except last - to the point of multiple hospital stays - and no one has been able to tell what caused it.
7) have the ability to stick out my uvula past my lips (the hangy thing in the back of your mouth).
8) can't speak Spanish, but it was my first language.
9) am the only member in my entire extended family who does not wear glasses, and the only one who works in front of a computer all day.
10) got caught hacking into a BBS when I was 10.
Bonus: In third grade I kept the computers in the Media Center in good repair, and in fifth grade I taught a weekly class of 2nd graders computer skills, such as LOGO. I knew I wanted to fix computers for the schools since elementary school, and now I do that for a paycheck.
Got a list of random or unusual things about yourself? Post it in the comments!

1) I can bend all of the fingers of my left hand all the way back to touch the top of my hand.
2) My shoe size and age were the same from age 7-13. I wear a size 14 now.
3) I have owned 15 different cars.
4) As a kid I had the nickname destructive Dan because I would take things apart to see how they work. Now I'm a hardware repair technician.
1) My maiden name was an oxymoron unintentionally. (My first name is the French, female form of the Hebrew name Jacob. Jacob means 'supplanter' or replacement- though not usually in a good context unfortunately. My surname is a centuries old, French family name that comes from the old Gothic language and essentially means 'native' or 'original'.)
2) I can memorize alphanumeric series up to 16 digits long.
3) I married someone I never dated.
4) I am one- and the first- of 6 home births that my mother had.
5) My parents designed the middle names of my brothers, sister and myself as anagrams of one another. The five letters of our middle name form an acronym our parents made for us before we were born.
