coffee no. 73
I admire people who have very unique and peculiar abilities. And, after all, absolutely useless in everyday life.
Today I saw on the TV the young man who can count the letters of what he just hears. Somebody was reading (in the normal rate) the jokes or excerpts from books and the man out of hand could say how many letters there was in the whole sentence. It was amazing.
The most interesting is the fact that such talented people almost always look utterly normal -- nothing in their appearance or behaviour suggests that they are very special in some sense. Their appearance often says "hey, I'm an ordinary, boring person", but suddenly they turn out to be the most interesting people we have met in our life. So be attentive!
