"Man performs astounding feats with his mind at breathtaking speeds."
It's a video, hard to quote so I'll just post the source for you guys. This is a guy TRULY diagnosed with Aspergers, not those 12-year-olds who use it as an excuse for awkwardness after only reading Wikipedia.

He's just mashing words together and making gibberish to sound Icelandic.
Like that volcano elsadkljdgkldjfsas.

Did you even watch the video? He was on national TV (Iceland)... Or are you being sarcastic?
It's a joke but yes that's kind of true.
icelandic sounds a lot like german
this was done so long ago, I can't believe this is just being released on yahoo news. I remember watching this at least 2 years ago
Oh my, makes me wish I was still taking french in school, but then I remember that I would have to learn french then.
this is at least from december 1, 2007

Yahoo! front-page, the title of the video is that he memorizes the first 22,000 numbers of Pi. The Iceland thing is old, but the video is new.

It's a Germanic language, just like English, German, Norwegian, and Danish.

he did the pi thing in the same episode he did the language thing in =/
These people are nothing more than benchmarks for the human mind, for a SINGLE subject or activity.
Icelandic has a lot in common with Old English.

ash burgers
I bet he still can't pronounce the volcano's name
[QUOTE=Triumph Forks;22358841]ash burgers[/QUOTE]
damn fine job.
I love how people pronounce it "Ass-Burgers"... real mature
[QUOTE=TheTalon;22358993]I bet he still can't pronounce the volcano's name[/QUOTE]
It's really not that hard to pronounce.
I'm a sloppy American and I can pronounce it.
I know someone with Aspergers that knows 4 languages :O

That's how it's pronounced. It's not spelled like that.
Aspergers is an interesting disorder, there is no mental loss or filtering so everything is kept. He reads the dictionary, he gets all the vocabulary he needs. He learns sentence syntax, he can put the words to use. It's awesome.
Damn it all. I'm an asspie and I never got shit like that. All that I do is get people on the internet to hate me.
:20bux: he has a brain tumor.
Assburgers is a bullshit disorder that was created to give unsocial fucks an excuse. I mean really.
Bam.

Actually Aspergers is why I don't have any friends, it's not because I'm fat and awkward, you jerk. I can count to one billion in potato.
