Here’s Daniel on David Letterman explaining what it means to be a savant: Link

Here’s a documentary on Tammet: The Boy with the Incredible Brain | Brain Man

Here’s Yoram Bauman, a stand up comedian and economist, explains all about the 10 Principles of Economics (You’d be pleasantly entertained … er, edumacated!)
