I could have sworn we had a thread here about this kid Ben Underwood, a blind teen who's mastered 'echo location'. Apparently, he just passed away at the age of 16, succumbing to cancer.

wow - that link should be given with a NSFRW rating (Not Safe For Reading At Work). Unless you want your coworkers to see you crying.

I think I saw him on Oprah or something like that where he made clicking noises to find his way around. Very sad.
