Beyond the possible....

Three videos to show that there is far more to being 'human' than we normally think....perhaps inspiration for those of us doing National Novel Writing Month in 3 days time.

First, Stephen Wiltshire, an architectural artist who has been diagnosed with autism.

"In May 2005 Stephen produced his longest ever panoramic memory drawing of Tokyo on a 10-meter long canvas within seven days following a short helicopter ride over the city. Since then he has drawn Rome, Hong Kong, Frankfurt, Madrid, Dubai, Jerusalem and London on giant canvasses, and is in the process of drawing his last masterpiece of the series in late 2009. When Wiltshire took the helicopter ride over Rome, he drew it in such great detail that he drew the exact number of columns in the Pantheon." (wiki)

Then, Prahladbhai Jani, a seventy-six year old Indian ascetic who lives in a cave near the Ambaji temple in the state of Gujarat. Mr. Jani claims that he has not had food or fluids to drink for the last sixty-five years.

And finally Al Jazeera's Jonah Hull reports on one Buddhist monk, Dashi Dorzo Itigilov whose body has lived on, despite his death more than 80 years ago.
