"We haven't seen that movie since 1967."

"But it's still upstairs."

[JustSomeOldGuy]

"I and my father share the same shadow" Kim Peek said!

[jonahansen]

The father is no neurologist.

[GodoftheGeeks]

True but he is a fantastic father.

[CHUCKYCASPER]

I wonder if everyone with the absence of a corpus collusum have an ability similar to this.

[GodoftheGeeks]

Nope

[redkef]

No, his cerebellum erupted into his actual brain, kinda like a shortcut. He's the only known case of that.

[CescoPisicoli]

@timg455 no, because a human cannot function without it. But in kim's case, at the age of 2 by picking up books, he talk himself to read and over time his brain 'compesated' the missing part of his brain by creating neuro-highways all over his brain to send the info to the needed areas.

[quangojones]

Surely Fran could economize by forgoing Kim's necktie.

[Genie4sho]

why would he want to do that?

[quangojones]

For sake of thrift and progress.

[MachineUSA]

Genious

[bphutchins]
