Years ago I was working at a plastic factory... raw material comes to us as bags and bins of pellets. Got discussing material science with a back-woods dumbtard and I ended up eating a pound of polyethylene pellets to prove they are really inert and won't kill you.
been told i should have been from Australia due to my weird sense of humor
My left leg's an inch and a quarter shorter than my right (thanks to a childhood road accident that left it broken in 3 places below the knee - it healed, but stopped growing for a year hence the disparity). Means I can only wear shoes with orthotic inserts on one side (and makes shoe shopping a major pain as I can't wear trainers or any type of shoe with thin soles 
) to ensure I walk and stand with my pelvis and hips aligned properly - if not my back and knees ache something rotten......

Oh that reminds me...
One of my ears (the right one I think) is a good 3/4 of an inch lower on my head than the other one. As a result, glasses/shades never really fit quite right and when I get a haircut I have them take any sideburns 'cause having those is like saying "Hey, look at my uneven ears!" which I don't really need.

Wow. We have some interesting things going on here. 
As for myself, I am double-jointed in most of my limbs. And because of that I can make my body do some things that most people's can't. For example, I do yoga but I can not do the lotus position. Every time I try my hips will pop out of joint and thud on the floor. It is also a little painful but it really freaks people out when it happens! My fingers, elbows, ankles and shoulders can all do the same thing. When I was a kid I would be running along and just kill over because my ankle would have popped out of joint. I was always nothing but a scab from the knees down. I also can't carry really heavy bags with my hands or my wrists will continue to painfully pop in and out until I sit the bag down. I have to carry my grocery bags looped over my lower arms.
(I also have a third nipple but I usually keep that secret to myself.)

When I clench my right fist, there's always a loud popping noise. It doesn't matter how fast or slow I do it, something pops in the center of my palm (it's not my knuckles that are popping).
Also, my canine teeth are a little longer and sharper-looking than most folks, so I went by the nickname "Dracula" for a little while in college...

I can do it with both hands. And ya, it fucks with people.
You play guitar? I do, I think that's how I'm able to do it.
I have a scar on the white of one eye, from an old racquetball injury.
So disguising myself with a ninja mask or veil concealing all but my eyes, probably won't work. Someone else will have to go on the top-secret mission.

In 1989, I started a Star Trek episode guide on my home computer. I printed it out and showed it to three people. Twenty years later, it is a Web site, and thousands of people have seen it. And it still isn't finished. ...

My wife still has one of her baby molars and is pushing 40, though the dentist has said it needs to be replaced with a bridge someday.
I have all of my wisdom teeth, so I have 12 molars -- I had four bicuspids removed before getting braces as a teenager which was horrendous and something I sure as hell didn't request. The reduction of my overbite and not having to have wisdom teeth removed is a bonus, however.
I'm also partially ambidextrous (I cannot write, but everything else I can pretty much do with either hand including use chopsticks).

I'm two degrees of separation away from the UK Prime Minister. (My neighbour is a former Labour MP.)
That's unique. You can bite her tongue over the Internet??? Ouch. How about just asking her to prove it?
^ Wow. I can do that too! Nifty. But what is even weirder for me is the fact that I switch hands from day to day. I don't know which hand I will prefer until I brush my teeth in the morning. Seriously. By the way, today I am a righty. Yesterday, I was a lefty. Tomorrow... who knows. 
But being ambidextrous has its drawbacks too. I can't seem to figure out how to drive in reverse (unless I just use my mirrors) because my brain switches from left to right rather than front to back. I also tend to type backwards on my left-handed days. I drive myself crazy hitting the caps lock instead of the return button. I also try and open things by turning in the wrong direction. You would think after thirty-some-odd years I would gotten used to it but I have never been able to get it sorted out.
