So, in response to the guy who woke up and spoke mandarin... I personally know a man who is a pastor. He spent years doing mission work in Mexico. Once, he and several others were over there and he felt like God asked him to drive over into the mountains and meet this random guy. (I'm not sure about all those details but it was strange) when he got there, there was no interpreter for him to preach through but he felt like God told him to get up and preach. So, he went to the front and began speaking in English to all these people who had apparently been there waiting on him (another detail that is very strange because they were there based on a young man's dream but had no idea who was coming) Anyway, as Pastor Mark was preaching, he began speaking in Spanish and "received" Spanish. He now is fluent in Spanish. It is not perfect yet he can communicate everything he wants to convey... Just thought you would want to know.

these are the best type of ear biscuit, imo. you guys really shine in extrapolation and imagination like this 

link, as a Buddhist, this is absolutely how we describe the true mind

you guys should read the book "The Woman Who Changed Her Brain." It's about this lady (Barbara Arrowsmith Young, also the author of the book) who was born with a bunch of cognitive deficits and developed a program that was able to get rid of them because of neuroplasticity and stuff and she trained her brain so that it no longer has those learning differences. She started a school with this program to help kids overcome their learning differences. The program called the Arrowsmith Program and it's spread to a lot of different schools in the US and Canada. I've been taking the program for a couple years now and it really works. If you guys think stuff like this, about changing the way your brain works, is so cool, I think you guys would really be interested in this. Plus, the Arrowsmith Program does not involve having a serious head injury :) :P

In this special Rhett & Link-only episode, Rhett & Link discuss some of the rare cases of “Acquired Savant Syndrome,” a diagnosis given to someone who sustains a terrible injury to their brain that miraculously unlocks a hidden genius, like the orthopedic surgeon who was struck in the head by lightning and was then able to masterfully play the piano, or the 20 year old Australian who was in a car accident that put him in a coma for one week only to wake up speaking fluent Mandarin. This fascinating conversation leads Rhett & Link to ask the question, does everyone have these hidden abilities buried in their brain, and if so, will we ever be able to unlock them?
