The article says he has an IQ of 75. Probably doesn’t have an MA in math....

He worked with what he had and should be Commended!

More than any Hairdresser or Singer or Fashion Queen this man should be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize!

There is Precedence #1 Rush Limbaugh (nominated even though he has 1/2 of his Brain tied behind his back), Jimmy Carter and AlGore (both are Mental Midgets) the list is long...

This guy should awarded something!

TT

Terri Schiavo had more brain tissue that this man.

Gee, he might be the world’s first known case of walking PVS

It’s possible all right. The fact is you cannot tell by looking at the brain what are the capabilities of the individual.

He better not travel to Florida. He might end up executed by state-ordered starvation/dehydration...

You got it exactly right.
