Very very interesting. I wish I could do things like that too; although when it comes down to it, having far less "special ability" but enjoying a normal, "average-joe" life is much more preferable.

If you're ever tempted to make a pact with the Devil in order to be granted a perfect memory, first read A.R. Luria's The Mind of a Mnemonist. You might also want to read Jorge Luis Borges' short story, "Funes, the Memorius".
