I've got an arm like a damn rocket, a cock like a Burmese python, and the mind of a fucking scientist.

I'm guessing you keep those in jars on display in your lab?

Right next to my sentient surfboard.

I've just remembered another skill: the ability to get simple electronic gadgets to work where others in my presence have failed, simply by handling the gadget and playing about with it for a bit. For some reason it doesn't seem to work on non-electronic, mechanical things.

I took it seriously. Particular the thing about finding documents.

I'm probably more "holiday special" than "special one," but thanks.

I got amazing powers of observation.

When I stand upright with my arms folded in front of me, I look very intimidating. People are in fact scared of me.

I have the most trustworthy type of beard:

Ah yes. The special ability known as "The Nack". I have that too. I suspect a higher portion of the geek population does.

My dad used to collect a series of fortnightly magazines called "The Knack," all about DIY.

I know. I just like spooky coincidences.

And how's this for another coincidence: "My Sharona" was the Billboard Hot 100 #1 single when I was born.

That song. It haunts me.

The Billboard #1 when I was born was "Billie Jean." This makes me cooler than you.
