well, because: (deep breath)

I am the very model of a modern Major-General,
I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical;
I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical,
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical,
About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news,
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.

I'm very good at integral and differential calculus;
I know the scientific names of beings animalculous:
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.

I know our mythic history, King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's;
I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox,
I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus,
In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous;
I can tell undoubted Raphaels from Gerard Dows and Zoffanies,
I know the croaking chorus from The Frogs of Aristophanes!
Then I can hum a fugue of which I've heard the music's din afore,
And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore.

Then I can write a washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform,
And tell you ev'ry detail of Caractacus' uniform:
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.

In fact, when I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin",
When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelin,
When such affairs as sorties and surprises I'm more wary at,
And when I know precisely what is meant by "commissariat",
When I have learnt what progress has been made in modern gunnery,
When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery—
In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy—
You'll say a better Major-General has never sat a-gee.

For my military knowledge, though I'm plucky and adventury,
Has only been brought down to the beginning of the century;
But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.

I used to play a sick game when i was a kid....back then we thought of special as slow or a special kid get it!
So i always used to ask my friends moms if there children were special to them.
Then we get into a debate of how special. It was fun no i have realized that childs play!
Now special means special for some odd reason.
What makes me special is that i am like no one else this i guarntee if you looked around the world forever you would never find any one like me.
I have the spark in my self to be toatly different to some people thats a loser.
Yet they all live life like every one else that makes them even more of loser then me.
Trying to be completly different then the rest of the world is'nt to hard.
Just depends how different you want to be.
O yeah i can do like 100 push ups!

Two things make me special, particularly in the context of Yahoo! Answers:
1. The ability to compose much more clever questions than perhaps you have.
2. The ability to answer questions cleverly and with as much depth as they merit.

I'm not. Unless of course you say I am. I will then ask you to explain yourself while I secretly record your response. After doing so, I will ask you to repeat the question back to me. I will then simply replay your recorded response back to you or something:P
