Words cannot express this level of awesomeness. I wonder if he could've learned it if he wasn't blind.

awesome

couldn't Ray Charles also do this?
I saw the movie a few years ago, and i thought he learned the same thing...

Wouldn´t it be Daredevil?

that's pretty cool be btw. I wonder if I can learn that, I'm often too lazy to wanna keep my eyes open when I walk xD

Indeed, I believe Daredevil is the blind one.

But it makes sense to call him the batboy since his technique is similar to the bats

There is another boy who could do the same thing. He was a little older and used echolocation to move around. It truly is amazing that they are capable of doing this. Shows you what hard work and determination can do.

its not this boy or some other boy there are a fair amount of people who can do this...in fact they even have classes to teach other blind people how to do it...he's nothing special...

yeah, teach me how to hear with my eyes, then well talk :roll:

No! He's the real Batman!

Anyway, that's pretty cool! And Xem, just because some other people can do it, doesn't mean that it's not special. If EVERYONE was doing it, then it wouldn't be special, but not everyone is, so it's still pretty damn impressive.

Lol. Saw something similar to this a while ago and first thought was "I thought this shit only happened in fiction."

And reminded me of this as well:

Code: Select all

It is, i wish i could do it.

Clearly beyond teaching of any kind...

I didn't say it wasn't special. I said he wasn't special. Forgive me for not going wowowowowowowow at something that has been documented, televised, and has several books that touch on the subject by now. This is old news, very old news. Im not bashing you guys for not knowing that. I guess its not the most common knowledge despite its coverage. Like i said though, old news, not impressed by him, heard it before, but mostly i just hate children...

lol, given how this is in "The Sun" and no other paper has mentioned it
i would put it at 30%...thats 30% credibility.

(To those that dont know the sun likes to make up stories.)

It's not the fact that he can do this that it's so awesome, it's because he's only 8? (or was it 7, too lazy to look up the article again) that makes it so special >.<

Kyle · Post by **Kyle** » Wed Oct 07, 2009 9:09 am

That is awesome, but normal people wouldn't be able to do that would they ? I thought since he has lost / doesn't have sight, his other senses are stronger ?

Lip reading is pretty common actually. Many people with hearing disabilities can do this very well.
