Photographic memory?

[Azure]

Has anyone ever heard of someone with this ability? Or does it even exist?

[Maritime Q-Scout]

I've heard of people with it, I know people that say they have it. I don't know if it's litterally like a photo they see in their head or they just remember everything.

I have friends that can tell you who were on the 4th line of the 1943 Detriot Red Wings.

Me, I need to check my driver's licence to remember my name LOL

I can remember a certain 1-800 number I had to dail for computer help about 4 years ago; it was a constant problem so I called at least 6 times. Yesterday I sat down on the phone and without thinking just punched in the numbers, which actually spells a word or two, into the keypad.

Really wierd.

EDIT: Yeah, I can remember password for computers for companies I worked for a decade ago. It's funny what you remember sometimes.

Look for people called savants alot seem like they would be on the line of being mentaly handicapped but they can retain an endless amount of info. Kim Peek (the guy rainmaker was made after) can remember the birthday of any person he has ever met.
