I turned down a job offer from a government spy agency in London to go sell didgeridoos by the beach in Australia before flying to Japan where I met a karate master who offered to train me, so I stayed, learned karate, married a hot Japanese girl, and bought an apartment in Tokyo.
I’ve had ‘trigger finger’ in my left hand since I was like 8 years old. I can click my middle finger closed and have to physically pull to open it back up. Its my party trick
I caught the largest invasive bullfrog ever documented to have eaten an endangered species (which was a toad). Killed that frog with a pitchfork, cut him open, and in his belly found the toad we had been tracking the last year.
Got published in the Journal of Herpetology and everything.
I broke my collarbone twice before I was four years old. Other than having my fingers caught in the car door when I was six, I haven’t had any serious injuries since.
I’ve performed/participated at least once, if never terribly successfully, in pretty much every form of entertainment/media: stage comedy, stage drama, musical comedy, cabaret, opera, ballet, modern dance, Indian temple dancing (!), movie (student films), TV (talk-show guest on three continents and Romper Room when I was a chid), radio (had my own radio show for three years, albeit in five-minute increments), and also had a column in a weekly newspaper. What I lacked in talent, I made up for in variety!
As a kid I was scared of dead bugs. Live ones were cool, it was dead ones that bothered me. I couldn’t even get into a swimming pool until I had skimmed it for a half hour and even then I would try to avoid them.
I don’t know why they scared me exactly, but just looking a pictures of them could give me chills. Especially dead spiders, headless bugs, cockroaches, or ones with yellow ooze.
Unrelated but I also had a nightmare as a kid where there was a whole raw chicken or turkey on a plate, but when I looked back at it it was gone. I didn’t know where it was until I looked under the table and saw it slowly crawling its way further under the table. It scared me so bad I woke up. Every time I hear about meat moving after death I think of it.
I’m allergic to the MMR vaccine. No other ones. Other than that, I’m fully vaccinated. People like me rely on herd immunity, and that seems to be on the way out, as there are outbreaks of measles right now. One of the only 3 things i can’t get the vaccine to
Apparently, there is an enzyme in your blood that causes a reaction when they bite you? So it essentially just boils down to an enzyme deficiency, but the best one to have, I’d say, judging by how my friends look and behave after sitting with them outside in Southern US summers…
They land on me, drink the blood,.but I just never get the itchy reaction. 🤷♀️ So that’s my super power I suppose. 🤣
For 20 years I have run a small joinery shop in a picturesque UK village. I also work on a lot of the old buildings here too. I am originally from Australia and have loads of friends and customers in the village. Based on this – and probably also my general appearance – I think many would be surprised that earlier in life I gained a PhD in philosophy (specialising in 20th C French philosophy) and have both published in this area and lectured at a world famous university in my discipline. To these people I am just the guy who restores their medieval building or makes their new kitchen.
Edit: sorry but reading this back I don’t know if it really qualifies as a ‘fun’ fact.
I experienced love at first sight with my current boyfriend and once I explored who he was I discovered he’s the exact archetype of the soulmate I wanted for myself since I was little.
I can’t drink carbonated drinks (pop & alcohol). I never grew up drinking it and every time someone tried to offer me pepsi/coke, I would take a sip but it makes me regurgitate/vomit. Same instance happens with beer haha
My eye color can change in a split second from light brown to dark brown or green. Sometimes I even have one green and one brown eye. It freaks people out who don’t know about it, my mom knows it changes with my mood so she always looks me in the eyes and then asks what shenanigans I’m up to when they are green
I survived a brain tumor with 1% growing in its location and 3 months later survived a very rare tick disease . It was Rocky Mountain spotted fever. I was the 1% that presented with no spots. Not the most fun 3 months
I was on top of the leaderboard for a Killer Instinct machine at the big arcade on the Vegas Strip in the 90s for a while. I was a happy 14 year old playing by my lonesome when some older teen boys came up and told me to get off, they wanted to play each other. I told them they had to beat me if they wanted me gone. They scoffed and rolled their eyes and said, “Girls can’t play video games. Sure.”
72 wins later, my sister came by to get me cuz we had to leave. Still kinda mad I never got to see if I could make it an even hundred.
