I have 2 weird abilities, first I have almost no problem with cold weather. Having worked outside my entire life I can easily having nothing but a T shirt on in minus 15 degree weather. I just never get cold. The other is the ability to handle extremely hot water with my hands. I am talking about water that is almost at the boiling point before it even begins to feel uncomfortable. Not sure why Ican do these 2 things but they are strange.

Forget everything I wrote, as none of it is unbelievable.
Here's a new one: a fact about myself that I find unbelievable?
I just traced a direct line of ancestry back to the 4th centur!!! I am a direct descendant of Roman Emperor Magnus Maximus. Now I have to record details on the intervening 70 (or so) generations.Comment

I hold German, Polish, Russian and Canadian citizenships ... not sure if that counts as unbelievable but it is about the only unusual thing about me.
Oh, and according to Mr. D. Lee I hunt Predators in Costa Rica and when I shave my beard for work my sister appears in the mirror.

That's cool, how did you manage that? I have US and Canadian citizenship, if my wife and I ever decide to move to Japan, I told her I'm going to try for Japanese citizenship. She tells me that would be extremely difficult, but I like a challenge!Comment

This is what happens when the political boundaries around my father's home town changed a whack of times due to WW1, WW2 and the Soviet rule of Poland.
Germans felt bad and offered citizenship to anyone displaced by the war (and several subsequent generations).
The town was in Poland when my Dad was born. When I travelled there my Mom applied for a Polish entrance visa for my Canadian passport. She was told by the Polish govetnment that I was a Polish citizen by birthright and I was given a Polish passport instead.
A cousin of mine in Poland that moved to Russia was granted, at the time, Soviet citizenship because of Poland having been a Soviet satellite State. So a bored 16 year old me looked into it as well. An ungainly amount of paperwork later and I'm Russian.
I am told the process is much harder now and more expensive since Poland joined the EU.
