Are we counting superhero abilities? Anyone been bombarded by mysterious space rays? Been bitten by a radioactive spider? Or been born a mutant?

OK, so I watched the Fantastic Four last night... but Jessica Alba is in it!

I can name over 500 counties in the United States. This and my ability to do the crossword, sudoku, daily jumble, and cryptoquote all in less than twenty minutes has never failed to get me laid. Indeed, it's the only thing I have.

I am pretty sure even a Rhesus monkey exhibits all of these behaviors including #4 where studies have shown that rhesus monkeys refrain from getting food from a device that causes other monkeys to suffer pain. (Masserman, Wechkin, and Terris; 1964)
