There's an article here about a woman who appears to have perfect memory. Pretty impressive stuff. But I'm rather confused by the journalist's surprise that she knew who Bing Crosby was

o_O what? Now if she'd known who Dion Fortune was, or had memorised books by Bruce Graham (obscure between wars british writer only I seem to have read in a long time) then I'd be impressed.

and if she'd memorised some of Bruce's books that I haven't managed to find then I'd want to be her friend.

Oh, she was impressive. I'd say if she'd been told who they were she'd know.

But...

"I wasn't sure she would know, because she's 40 and wasn't of the Bing Crosby era," he says.

But she did.

"But she did." is pulled out in its own paragraph like it's a shocking fact.
