Face Blindness - Prosopagnosia

I never knew Oliver Sacks was born face blind. Radio lab has a very interesting and yes, funny podcast on face blindness.

"
Oliver and Chuck–both born with the condition known as Face Blindness–have spent their lives decoding who is saying hello to them. You can sit down with either man, talk to him for an hour, and if he sees you again just fifteen minutes later, he will have no idea who you are. (Unless you have a very squeaky voice or happen to be wearing the same odd purple hat.)"
