An Incredible Savant

I recently watched a documentary on savants In particular, Daniel Tammet, whose mathematical abilities As well as other astounding mental capabilities Will not only blow your mind You'll probably say to yourself, “this is some kind of trickery What he does is impossible for the human brain to comprehend” Yet when matched against a computer He is able to do calculations up to 100 decimal places in his head Without a single number out of place He is also able to learn a new language within a week And then appear on television and carry on a conversation In that language with ease to the utter astonishment Of those conducting the interview I'm aware there are skeptics out there... but THIS IS REAL At twenty-something he possesses extraordinary mental abilities That defy all logic or comprehension If you're interested in watching this amazing documentary The URL is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z22H89rIMHk If you saw “The Rain Man” starring Dustin Hoffman You'll realize how accurate Mr. Hoffman's portrayal was IT'S A MUST SEE!!!

I plan to look it up, Jack. Savants fascinate me. They can't be explained, but they certainly are real!
