Rest in peace, Kim Peek
Kim Peek (November 11, 1951 – December 19, 2009) was an American prodigious savant known as a megasavant.[1][2][3] He had a photographic or eidetic memory, but also social developmental disabilities, possibly resulting from congenital brain abnormalities. He was the inspiration for the character of Raymond Babbitt, played by Dustin Hoffman, in the movie Rain Man. He was not autistic and likely had FG syndrome.

This dude was mad smart. They had him on the History (or may have been Discovery Ch.) one time and he knew almost every zip code in the US. They gave him some bum-fuck town, and he popped it off with no problem. RIP

He used to go around to all of the elementary schools in Utah back in the day. I think he came to our school around 1994.
I can't remember ALL of the things he did, but I specifically remember him knowing all of the phone numbers in Utah, and he could tell you who they belonged to.
He also did the standard of telling you what day you were born. It seems like he also remembered pretty much anything and everything about baseball.
He also demonstrated himself reading both the left and right page of a book at the same time :eek5:.
