Here is the list:
1.) I have a blue belt in Tae Kwon Do and several broken bones to show for it.
2.) I enjoy the music of the band Primus.
3.) I make silly pictures in push pins on the bulletin board.
4.) I have studied tasseography and practice it on a daily basis.
5.) I engage in sesquipedalianism, unashamedly in public places.
6.) I often take apart my small electronics and put them back together, and they work.
7.) I'm a total pool shark.
8.) I can see thermal disturbances in the air (in good sunlight).
9.) My mother once convinced me I was allergic to wool.
10.) I once considered joining the military as a translator.
11.) I received my first driver's license at age 21.
12.) I dance a mean tango.

Most people guessed #12 as being false - they were right! I can do an approximation of the tango, but I'm sure it would make dancers wince (and maybe bystanders gawk).
#6 was just a little false - the electronics don't always work when I get done ;o) *wink*
All the other ones are TRUE!
For the other guesses:
Yes, I DO have a blue belt in Tae Kwon Do. However, after having a concussion, a broken ankle, a dislocated shoulder and a fractured wrist over the course of three years -- my doctor said to quit or get a new doctor.
My mother had me convinced I was allergic to wool - because she is, and thus I never tried seriously to get past the initial itch - worried I would break out in hives from it. However, I found some baby wool (Dale of Norway Baby Ull) and loved it -- it changed my entire opinion about wool from then on - all wool!
In 2002 I considered (and visited the recruiter several times) joining the army as a military translator. I have a natural talent for hearing languages and translating them - but have not developed conversation skills in anything but German. There was a training course I was qualified for (at a high level) that seemed promising. However, my mother said I would join the military 'over her dead body'.. and although that is her personal opinion, it swayed me enough that I continued my schooling and job at the time and didn't think much more about it.
