Does anyone ever watch that show on the Science channel? When I got home from work, my hubby was watching it and then he left for work. I didnt change it and ended up watching the series of them just now...it is sooooo fascinating!

If you watch it, what do you think? The show interviews real life people who have unusual brain functions and takes the audience through their experiences. I think it will help society understand those who have been considered bizarre or non-conforming to society.

Fascinating stuff!

Thanks for the heads up!
