Doogie Howser lives


 
Today, a 21 year old nerd became the youngest person ever to be awarded a medical degree from the University of Chicago. He reportedly has an IQ of 200. Not bad... That's only five points higher than the Blogger's...


Sho Yano — who was reading at age 2, writing at 3 and composing music at 5 — will graduate Saturday from the Pritzker School of Medicine, where he also received a Ph.D. in molecular genetics and cell biology.


I can't believe it took him so long to compose music. He scored 1,500 out of 1,600 points on his SAT at the age of 8! A few years ago, we were fortunate enough to track down the little bastard and he was gracious enough to grant us this short interview...

Ignore That Woman Holding the Pointer


As I suspected last week, several Belgian doctors are asking questions regarding the amazing story of Rom Houben. Houben, you might remember, is the 46 year old car crash victim reported to have been falsely diagnosed as being in a coma for 23 years. Coincidentally, the same thing has been said about NY State Senator Bill Stachowski.

Some experts think the woman controlling the pointer is answering the questions for him. There are several ways to find out. The simplest would be to ask him questions about reality TV, fashion, The View, or Barbara Streisand with the woman guiding his hand. If he knows any of the answers, we know it's her communicating, or it's him and he's just gay. I do hope it is him communicating though. If it's not, the Balloon boy's father thinks it was a ridiculous hoax.

Car Accident Victim in Coma Actually Awake for 23 Years


This was sent to me by my friend and Unbalanced correspondent Marty Farrell. It is an article about Rom Houben, a man thought to be trapped in a coma for 23 years after a car accident. According to the article, he's been aware of his surroundings and just unable to communicate. So actually, he was never really in a coma. He was trapped in his own body and could hear every word his friends and family were saying. If it's accurate and not embellished to further Fox News' conservative agenda, it is an incredible story.
