Um, that's Rain Man level right there! Soon we won't be worried about the illegals taking out jobs . . . Or, the phrase, "it's so easy a monkey can do it' might be obsolete.

Beat rain man with a stick musak

Incidentally, the Sift has some great videos on autistic savants:

It really is annoying that, because of Rain Man, the average person holds the misconception that autistic = autistic savant.

Great stuff. His descriptions of the different textures of numbers reminds me of this neat little thing:

Such techniques seem to be learnable. Let good ol' Derren Brown explain.

yikes......and to make certain that you go away, and perhaps come back feeling better, no hard feelings, just some wrong side of the bed er sumpthin'.....self-linking a vid here is illegal, punnishable by *banter, *banning, *banned*

I recognize the narrator's nasally annoying voice on the viddy....my advice to him is, pay someone that does not sound like rain man to do voiceover....

Our class was over 350 people as I recall. I would think there was at least 70 - 90 people at the night I went. Dag might have a better visual sense for counts, he's like that Rain Man guy... (I kid... I kid...)
