I watched a movie/documentary on that dude...something titled The Boy with the Amazing Brain, or something like that. He learned to speak Icelandic in a week and went on a talk show in Iceland and spoke to the hosts in Icelandic. That was amazing. I remember the PI thing as well........took 6-7 hrs for him to say it, and they had 5-6 people checking while he was reciting. I would reccommend watching this movie/documentary. He's a pretty humble guy, which suprised me.
