{{OldWillipedia}}'''Don't be shy.''' Can you do something that other people find useful, entertaining, or impressive? Don't hide it under a bushel! Instead, post here. Put your proficiency in parentheses. Add new categories and skills as appropriate.
This page was getting pretty big and hard to navigate/read/edit, so it's broken into categories. Consider this the "Miscellaneous Skills" section.

===Change a Tire===
David Rodriguez '06 has changed more than his fair share of tires and learned that salt+rust will effectively glue a wheel onto the axle. Solution? Wedge the flat edge of your hubcap-removal tool into the jammed area and whack the crap out of it with a hammer. Eventually, if you're lucky==Animal Sounds, that wheel will pop right offetc.==
===Jumpstart a CarCaveman Talk===
David Rodriguez '06 has also had his fair share of car jumpstarts and knows not to connect the black plug to red and red plug to black. If you do, you will blow the battery fuse in your fusebox and burn out some expensive component in your car. Through his learning processes, he found just how costly it is to replace the stock amp that powers your stereo[[Chris St.Cyr]]
==Computer Languages=Dog Bark===Danny Fischler barks at cars, beeping alarms, and squirrels with nice legs.
===Perl===[[Jono Dowse]] barks back at dogs that chase him on runs; they retreat in fear.
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=06cks Kai Steverson] (competent)==Cat Meow===
===Java===Alexa Herlach and she does it often.
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=06dpr Daniel Rooney[Julianne Shelby] (disgusting)] is probably just actually a cat
==Feats of Strength=Burping===
===Benchpress Samantha Peterson can burp the big bar===alphabet. Backwards.
[http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=06emm Evan Miller] (like it was the training bar)==Unbelievably Frightening Subsonic Beast Voice===
==Body Tricks==[[Neal Holtschulte]]: enter Rangda.
==Object Tricks==Liz Bacon can do some scary stuff. She has breathing issues. -Cat Vielma '09
==Foreign LanguagesCircus Arts & other amazing feats==
==Foreign Object Tricks=I can ride a unicycle!===Alex Ambros (the 1 in 2000 girl) Elissa Brown (was in the same entry as Alex - what's the probability of ''that''?) Abby McBride can too! Bryan Dragon can but doesn't want anybody to know about it. ===I can walk on my hands===[[Meredith Sopher]] thinks life is more fun upside down ===I can slackline===Elissa Brown (shakily)  Alex Ambros Dave Kleinschmidt (if I'm lucky) Evan Bick Sean McKenzie (anywhere and everywhere) ===I can juggle (balls, clubs, knives, flaming torches, etc.)===Alex Ambros (working on passing clubs) Elissa Brown(see above. We'll get it eventually) Ben Brooks (I can do everything listed in the title except "etc." Whatever that is...) Jason Ren (I can do everything listed AND Etc. I know what it is) Robin Stewart (He's the master) [[Jacob Eisler]] '04 says his one of his two major accomplishments in high school was learning to juggle. ==Communication== Margaret Pigman can read and write braille, and has a braille typewriter! And, and, and! Margaret takes class notes in Braille. [[Diana Davis]] can write holding a pencil with her toes. [[Jonathan Landsman]] is the fastest two-finger typist there is, and can do so blindly. ==Impressions==[[Joseph Gangestad]] can do an uncanny Gollum (Andy Serkis) Dan Wollin can too. And Ralph Morrison (rare talent, it seems). Joe Shoer '06 can do Stitch <s>fairly okay</s> very well. Danny Fischler '06 does a decent Donald Duck scream, but is limited to a rather crude vocabulary. The entire [[Cross Country Running|cross country]] team imitates Pete Farwell with widely varying degrees of success and/or recognizability. ==Luck==Lisetta Shah can find 4-leaf clovers pretty much just by looking down at the ground for a couple seconds, and sometimes without even that much effort. Alex Ambros see above, plus those trippy five and six leaf ones ==Martial Arts/Small Arms==Michael Anthony Del Rio is surgical with a 12 gauge shotgun. Andrew Triska '10 learned to fire a handgun at age 4. He has yet to perfect it.
