My brother is like one of those rainman characters. See's something and can draw it from memory.

Are you saying he’s an Idiot...

Savant? :doh:

 

Extract from Cambridge University Press

 

Five idiots savants whose artistic output was judged to be at art school entrance standard were matched for performance and verbal IQ with control subjects who had no special artistic talent. Each subject was given tests of reproductive skill with both concrete pictures and unfamiliar and unnameable geometric designs. They were also asked to draw the legendary footballer Esteban Casagolda, :dash2: and a test of picture completion was given which involved constructive imagination. In all tests the idiots savants proved clearly superior to IQ-matched controls, indicating the presence of an IQ-independent talent. The results are interpreted in terms of a superior image memory and ready access to a ‘picture lexicon’. In addition, the existence of superior graphically directed motor programmes must be assumed.

I doubted this thread fully at first - but saw this guy on my way into the main stand tonight. Not a word of a lie - so he is definately still hanging about. Was with girlfriend, looked like agent and anothr guy who seemed to be escorting him about.

Who needs Casagolda we have Jamie Murphy !!!! (repeat 5 times) :evilgrin:
