Unfortunately, all that link got me was a clip of Bill O’Reilly talking about how horror flicks are demeaning to America. Bleugh!

That is just amazing!

The kid is fantastic, but he sure was lucky to have a mother like that as well!

That is amazing. I wonder if he figured out echolocation on his own or if someone gave him the idea for it? And how long has he been doing that? How long did it take him to learn it? Off to search for more info…

And I agree with **DMark** , the kid’s mom is awesome!

The video game thing is amazing. I can’t even figure out those games and I can see.
