Anyone see this on 60 minutes?
A number savant?

I'd like to talk to him too - just so long as there were subtitles when he broke into Icelandic. And what was up with the Olay body wash commercials - Jimminy Christmas, I was totally distracted.

Yeah, he seems like an interesting ... and humbling ... guy.
Damn you, I got swiffer commercials! Bring on the body wash commercials! :P :P :P

And I'd love to watch the two of you converse - with the help of an interpreter.

I'm pretty sure he's a cap consultant for an NFL team - well, now that I think about it, maybe both are - Patler and the Savant. Wait a second, Patler, Savant, Savant, Patler. Holy Shit! Finkle is Einhorn! Einhorn is Finkle!

Watching that piece was a bit eerie. Some of you may recall a few months back I mentioned that I "see" numbers differently than most people, or at least did when I was much younger. What I did was barely scratching the surface of that guy, in fact not even a scratch, but as he talked about seeing numbers as shapes and colors I had a certain sense of familiarity. Although I never have seen shapes or colors, relationships I can't explain are just "there" with numbers.

I'll bet the Chicks are truly impressed with his recall of numbers, calendar dates, etc. :)

Tell me what's in my future, O wise dog.
I'll settle for good advice on where to invest an extra $200 a month.

A blessing and a curse - he's got no excuse for not remembering the B-DAY of his significant other if he has one. I'm definitely not a savant.
