Here’s another example of an unusual art form - or perhaps it should be categorized an unusual “talent” - in either case, Ryan Reeder is one very fast talker!

In case you didn’t catch all that in the allotted two minutes, he recited all of the books of the Bible’s Old and New Testaments and of the Book of Mormon; named all fifty states; recited the alphabet backwards; listed all the presidents of the United States; and finished up with all the movies that have won Academy Awards for Best Picture. (Whew!)

It’s interesting to note among the comments on YouTube, some like these:

Why are you doing this? What is the point? Why are people praising [Ryan Reeder] for talking fast. If i did a quick fart would i get this much attention? –cockneybandit

Alas, humanity is lacking in neither talent nor jealousy. And while Ryan basks in his 15 minutes of fame, let’s hope he can slow down enough to enjoy it.
