This little fellow can see in the dark. It's not that he's eaten all of this carrots; rather that he was born with eyes that were different to those of his friends. And probably the rest of the world's too. He has localised albinism in his eyes so with no pigment, his eyes look blue.

Boy who can See in the Dark
This little fellow can see in the dark. It's not that he's eaten all of this carrots; rather that he was born with eyes that were different to those of his friends. And probably the rest of the world's too. He has localised albinism in his eyes so with no pigment, his eyes look blue.

Survival without Air
Magician David Blaine was able to hold his breath for a long time under water. Divers in some cultures have been making a lungful of air count for several minutes for years. Here, Blaine explains how he was able to survive without air for as long as he did.
Using Hearing to 'See'
This chap is blind, but developed a sort of echo-location by making clicks, and using his hearing to its full capability in order to develop a three dimensional model of his surroundings. This effectively allows him to 'see' by informing him of obstacles.
Surviving without Food or Water
Man cannot live by bread alone. Breatharians would have you believe that air and meditation can replace food and water. This may not be true long term, but it's certainly been proven that people have been able to survive quite contentedly for far longer than is usually possible or even safe while taking nothing into their bodies but air.
Fantastic Memory
This chap, Daniel Tammet, has the most remarkable memory. As well as being able to remember huge amounts of information, often after only a cursory glance, he is able to perform tremendously complicated mathematics. He says that this is because he is able to 'see' the numbers. Daniel has also learned many languages, including difficult Icelandic in one week.
Living Life
This chap Zeek ran into medical problems in his teenage years. Rather than be cowed by them, he has lived the most splendidly full life, researching, authoring and illustrating an incredibly extensive and eclectic guide to the universe. It is an exceptional read, and it is worth venturing that this chap has lived life as fully as anyone ever has.
Chinese 'Chi' energy for healing
This chap seems to be quite exceptional. He uses 'chi' as manipulated in Chinese acupuncuture in order to heal. In this video, he is able to give electric shocks, light LEDs, push a chopstick through a table and even create fire with his bare hands. Is is real? If it is, it's thoroughly interesting.
