Having enjoyed fifteen months in Nova Scotia, I returned to the midwest in 2008 to helm a listing ship, plug its leaks, and set a new course. So far, I've reduced the leaks by about 2/3, the rats have mostly abandoned ship, and I'm turning the rudder slowly. A lot of the crew has changed, but there's no immediate threat of mutiny.
Strange. At 9:41 this morning I was trying to decide whether I'd rather be an idiot savant or a polymath. Frighteningly good at one thing or many things, the same problem still emerges - serious lack of social skills.
dagromm, you win. I was gonna say super speed-reading or play something perfectly on the piano after hearing it only once, but you got me beat. The DH says he was thinking 45 B-side trivia knowledge, ala "Diner", but loves yours more.

Yeah, it's the idiot part that always gets me.
Welcome!! Are the Goo I think you are?
I would choose counting cards, at least then I would be a rich idiot...
How many Goos do you know?
Wait. Is the plural of Goo "Gees"?
I'm not sure. Whatever kind makes you President of the United States I suppose.

It occurs to me that the corollary question then arise: If you were and idiot savant, what kind of idiot would you want to be?
Yet, thank you Dagromm, the answer still remains the same: the kind that makes you President of the United States.
I love my family.
Woo-hoo!!! I win!
