The REAL Rain Man died Saturday.
 

Kim Peek, the original Rain Man, dies - Times Online

Amazing story, not just of his genius, but his parents devotion to him.

Makes you wonder just what the human brain is capable of doing.

RIP.

Just watched the video on the Times website.

Unbelievable, people queue up to ask him random questions to catch him out and he answers them.

:)

I've seen a few programmes about him and it blows me away how his mind works. A true genius and just goes to show the potential of the human brain:)

Quite amazing.

Sort of thing that make you forget your own problems in life too.

clever guy . saw the program about him a while back

I can't even remember what I did last week. :freak3:

Just shows that disability or handycap doesn't write you off...the brain, albeit damaged is a marvel that not even the world's top neuroscientists have been able to properly understand.
