What is your greatest hidden talent?
I can say the entire Pledge of Allegiance in Spanish. Poorly accented Spanish, but Spanish nonetheless. That’s nearly the extent of what I remember from three years of foreign language study in high school. That useless feat is not my great hidden verbal talent, though. I can also list all 66 books of the Protestant Bible in order. Thanks, Lutheran catechism! Truth be told, I get ever so hazy deep into the New Testament. I trust 5 minutes of study is all that’d be necessary for the revelation of my memory. These feats are still so deeply ingrained in my mind because of brute memorization, the genesis of which involved going over them again and again and again. The Pledge of Allegiance is only 31 words and flows quite easily, so that wasn’t too tough. The Bible, however, required me to incrementally memorize the whole of the Old Testament first, only then to proceed to the New Testament. Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers … just roll off the tongue. Countless repetitions ingrained them into my supple 13-year-old mind. But have I read any of those 66 books? Not even the sub-300 words of 3 John.
