stat savant

[dangorig]

karkrashful are u a savant 2? or just defending ur dad? hahahaah dufus.............

[spacitydrummer4JC]

How do we know he's not just guessing? "What day was May 5th 1433?" "Saturday.." I just made that up. He could have been doing that, as well.

[dangorig]

So a genius can tell me which day I was born. Could he tell us who God is? That would make a contribution to society.

Why is it all geniuses look like retards!!!

[karkrashful]

@dangorig everything in ur comment is absolutely stupid. God isnt real, there is no empirical proof of a heaven or hell, or a man living in space and answering our prayers. second, savants have extraordinary capabilities in very specific areas and are actually cognitively disabled in others. and they look like retards because they are retards.....

[HubSwitch]

@karkrashful

no proof of heaven?

you not been outside yet? or looked into a mirror?

you might just get that one day.

As for retards, were all retarded - just look at what were doing to the world

[TheOmgpancake]

@Annihilate3275 you do realize he is mentally challenged and has an extreme gift? i think the only nerd is you so go back to playin WoW and goin on dates with five fingered rosie

[MrBigEnchilada]

[blizzardxc1]

[MerkinMuffly]

I wondered what became of ESPN's Howie Schwab

[niptuck117]

@MerkinMuffly lmao

[drdeathfucker26]

[yuuto6999n]

Ｉｓ it a CM?

[ind20000]

anyone else think he looks like Steven Hawking?

[pillowbugg]

Feburary 29, 5079 BC?

[kooziejr]

@pillowbugg lol

[tabber87]

He has to think about it though.

[jwb4291]

@tabber87 should watch more videos with him in it, he just recalls information like its nothing

[Bagina4ever]

I gotta get me one of those!!! 

[GenevaSuspension]

One of my uncles comes across as mentally disabled, in fact when he was in the hospital for a minor surgery they asked my dad if he had a mental disability, turns out he's just socially awkward, but he can remember sports scores from every year as far back as he was a kid.

[magicalorangutan]

"kim" is one ugly bastard.'

The true cost of being a smart retard motherfucker!!

[fuckyousonsofbitches]

As a woman, I would absolutely never consider dating this ugly motherfucker.

Agreed, magicalorangutan. "Kim peek" is a disgusting bastard.

[jgxcmonkey]

he would not date u either cus ur an ugly wrinkly nasty ass mutherfucker...and fat too.

[GenevaSuspension]

Don't forget stupid, superficial and ignorant.

[hansbenedikt]

Envy is the sincerest form of flattery - well I guess you are too stupid to understand that :- )

[ty2242]

your a jackass i hope your kids have special need now so you can see whats its like

[magicalorangutan]

trolls dont have kids.

[bobcaygeonfrench]

Ask him the date he lost his virginity. His head would probably explode.

[8rodney8]

LOOL LOOKS SO FUNNY

[mauimud1]

why only 20 seconds? Why even waste our time?

[eliteplague]

@mauimud1 it's not like you could of done anything productive in those 20 seconds, stfu.

[Kokomokox]

@eliteplague could HAVE*

moron

[duquetteroxx]

@mauimud1 Ummm, its actually the exact opposite. Its short, sweet, and to the point. If it was 20 minutes it would have been a waste of time.

[Rene09091971]

@mauimud1 19 seconds, are enough to be impressed.. :) and follow more..

[koya25555]

how does he do it???

[vevemon]

Savant syndrome. Some people, who lack intelligence in some areas are mind-blowingly brilliant in others. Try typing in "savant syndrome" in the search box, you might like what you see :) Pretty amazing stuff.

[Thegoodlol]

@vevemon except this is the best savant in the world, actually was, since he is now dead

[ghodium]

why's this in youtube's comedy category?

[xxgingyxx]

that guy is amazing!

[crickit000]

who's the idiot, you can't even get the sentence right. try "what an idiot."

[clayisamazing22]

wow. ur the idiot. he isnt a savant...he is a idiot savant. the correct definition for idiot savant.

noun ( pl. idiot savants or idiots savants pronunc. same)

a person who is considered to be mentally handicapped but displays brilliance in a specific area, esp. one involving memory.

[crickit000]

OH MY GOD!!! you wrote the dictionary definition. you have got alot of time on your hands. find the definition for IDIOT and im sure it will have your name right there.

[clayisamazing22]

dude i looked and it had u sipping ur dads creampie out of ur moms ass with a straw. ur gross

[crickit000]

are you on crack? cos it take one sick puppy to think up shit like that. sure i might be an idiot sometimes but at least i don't spend my whole time with my head stuck in a dictionary looking up definitions at wrighting them on youtube. LOSERRRRRR!!!!!!!!!

[clayisamazing22]

dnt be a bitch. i proved u wrong so fucking get over it.

[crickit000]

how did you prove me wrong?

[baller04920]

WHAT?!! Your the one who is gross, try having some class. I know its hard when your IQ is only 12 but at least try.

Tu imature femme!!

[clayisamazing22]

[caramelatte1993]

[GodoftheGeeks]

What documentary is this from?

[philochko]

i forgot

[wizzlewolf]

"The Real Rain Man" Story of Kim Peek

[GodoftheGeeks]

No its not I saw that documentary and the deleted scenes multiple times. I posted the deleted scenes myself. But thanks for the thought =D

[pumpfever]

This people can do things like that because their brains works in a different way as normal ones, they usally have "disabled" their left hemisphere and with this they can blow the right one.

[skjawwad]

actually in the case of Kim Peeks the membrane filter separating the 2 hemisheres in missing, allowing him to use his brain as a whole, no left or right hemishperes. whereas the average brain functions at abt 45% of its power, this guys works at approx 98%.....

[danthoms]

This is the man who the movie rain man was based. He has memorized over 12,000 books and every us zip code.

[thebucketocrap]

9,890. not 12,000

[GodoftheGeeks]

His own father confirms its more around 12,000 in his most recent book about Kim.

[ZACKALACK8999]

and I am sure he's read more since you read the statistic, he can read a book in an hour or two on average.

[blizzardxc1]

@danthoms this guys faking it

[viciousdave119]

It is nearly impossible to memorize as much as his brain does. With so much being remembered, he can't do physical task like we do everyday.

[sleepingeye]

i don't think these things contradict each other

i mean, compare the things he remembers with the easy things normal people have to remember, maybe he just isn't interested in remembering things that other people find worth remembering, that's all

[trooperman4]

Actually he is pretty functional.

[hercules71185]

by functional I hope you don't mean like able to do physical things? Like he can't button his shirt. He is AMAZINGLY gifted in what he can do. but, functional isn't a good description

[combomaster99]

so are all the savant ppl : O good in what thy can do but its still special .

[pukeyknox]

i cant believe how ignorant some of these people are who leave comments on here. he's not faking anything.  this guy remembers 98% of everything he reads - he can tell you about practically anything. he started reading encyclopedias when he was 4

[andrew08032002]

If you type in calculate the day of the week on google some websites have formulas you can memorise and after some practice you can calculate the day of any date back to 1600. and into the future to about 2500

[bratschegurl]

bs you can't remember all of them. Kim's an amazing savant, you can't fake that.

[thelawenforcer001]

thing is, this guy can barely reason... It is incredibly hard for him to complete simple logic exercise's which you or I would find easy as hell

[decreasetherisk]

Well, there goes the saying "you can't have it all."

[mdma4life]

His name is Kim Peek. The movie Rain Man was based on him. He was reading encyclopedias at the age of 4. He finished the entire high school curriculum at 14. He can read TWO pages at once, one with each eye, and it takes him about 8 seconds to read a page. He was born with damage to the brain called macrocephaly. He can recall all the information from over 12000 books in an instant. His brain damage is possibly why he seems 'retarted' to people

[BOOGERSRULE1234444]

He's a splinter savant, most impressively, he's recently picked up playing the piano.

[mangoslices]

Being a savant must be a great feeling! :.)

[chachaboy666]

you guys are terrible makein fun of a autistic guy i go to school with a few autistic kids n some of them are almost as smart as me but barely n thats pretty kool what he does i wish i can do that

[dog1dog2]

Kim Peek is what many in our field call a "mega savant," meaning that he is prolific in multiple areas of untaught genius. His lack of social skills is not due to the fact that his "brain is full" in any sense of the word...in fact, he has stunningly continued to build his vast dearth of knowledge, and even splintered into new areas of genius without losing old information, which is truly remarkable in the realm of the savant.

[garthnicholls]

I believe that he is extraordinarily skilled, but telling the day that a date falls on would be an easy trick to pull off, because no-one is likely to check!

[khmaz]

lol you stupid.. he's on tv, fameus n stuff.. lol oh yea,, hes just pulling off a trick.  He has memorized all the days and dates.. his brain is missing a filter which filter away(deletes) uneccessary memories.. the problem is that his brain "gets full" so he doesnt learn all the social stuff

[PWhyte84]

You do realize that he has read thousands of books and can remember something like 95% of the content in them. He knows all the area codes in the United States and Canada. He can tell you directions anywhere in North America, and he knows a ridiculous amount of languages. He is not faking it!

[emmavercauteren]

Yah man , it's not comedy , you know !

It's incredible what he does , but laughin with it ?

No thanks . Kim peek is an autistic savant. (Rain Man was based on him !)

[Cymophane1488]

Kim Peek.

[Truthiness231]

ROFL, 'stat savant'...

Do you, savant, the one who posted this video, realize who that was? That's THE motha' fawqin' man himself, the one who inspired Rain Man: Kim Peck!!1! Damnnn foo', you should be down on your knees beggin' him for pardon, as you sir are in his debt now! XP

[PollackTroy]

You da man Kim
