Another random pilot skill to add to the list: being able to tell the temperature, to within a degree centigrade.
Recently, our heating broke. Just what we need when we're worried about money, but there you go - someone up there is having a laugh at our expense, I think. Anyhow, it was bloody freezing in our house, and my husband went to check our thermometer - we have a digital weather station (such a pilot gadget, but quite useful too!) Before he went, he said "bet you it's 11 degrees" - and sure enough, it was 11.5 - pretty impressive!
Not sure if that's just random chance, or something common amongst pilots? What do you think?

I think it is just one of the skills of a pilot. My husband is almost always spot on with guessing the temperature, and looking at the sky and predicting the next 24 hours of weather.
