I once heard on the radio a guy who could tell you the score of every single Philadelphia Flyers game ever played.

That was pretty amazing.

This guy though, hands down winner.

He’d be better served memorizing the Scriptures. That achievement will have eternal rewards.

Harold Bloom, whom I used to know, had an eidetic memory. He could remember word-for-word every book he read.

C. S. Lewis is also said to have had an eidetic memory. When he was a tutor at Oxford in his study, and discussing something with one of his students, he could point the student to the right shelf, book, and page number for any quotation.

Useless.
