Song: Snatam Kaur - Ong NamoKim Peek was born in 1951 and has a condition called Savant Syndrome. His condition causes him to have an extraordinary photographic memory, lack of social skills, and developmental disabilities.He can read a page of a book in less than 10 seconds (about a book an hour) with his left eye reading the left page and his right eye reading the right page at the same time. Everything he reads he memorizes. He is literally a wealth of knowledge memorizing practically everything he comes across.As his Kims father, Fran Peek descries in the video above Kim did a test where he had to read 8 pages of a book, he did it in 53 seconds. 2 hours later he had 98.7% recall of what he read, including the page numbers. His dad took the same test and it took him 23 minutes with a 45% recall which was normal.Pictures: Google & YahooInformations: Wikipedia & http://www.mymultiplesclerosis.co.uk/misc/kimpeek.html
