My skill would be knowing that a '73 Volvo isn't worth fixing.

I remember spending hours on a friend's '73 Volvo that the AC compressor kept falling off of. I finally triangulated it with two pieces of 1.5'' by 1/8" strap, drilling and tapping the block. And the damn thing didn't fall off any more. They weren't too familiar with AC in Sweden, and many of their workers sabotaged the Volvos heading for the States, anyway. Oh, I'm pretty good at some of the other skills mentioned also. I was the first person to take a low-volume kayak down the Grand Canyon. Does that count?

i can burn through paper with acid
which is always a handy skill to have, you never know when it'll come in useful

i forgot to mention that i know how to kill a person with my bare hands i 6 different ways... is that a good thing to know?

[amphoteric88]

i think any kind of killage is worth an extra few points in my estrimation. as long as i don't get a demo first hand, that might be dangerous

[pyromonkey]

as i said... i KNOW... i havn't tried it out in full, but i've "played" it out
