Wasn't this just done on 60 Minutes? (I can't remember).

Smodcast was just talking about this the other night. For a second, I thought that was the one guy from that show Airline on the far right.

@GitEmSteveDave: I had listened to the episode of 60 minutes that Mosier was talking about. It really was pretty interesting.

If they all have hyperthymesia, shouldn't they have those foil blankets on or something? Dammit, take care of your guests, The View.

Howard Stern had Marilu Henner on two weeks ago to talk about this. Scooped!
