People like this skip math in highschool.
Wow. I got this video in an email recently and was amazed at the amazing and complicated mathematic equations that this man could compute in his head. He was able to square 3 digit numbers before a pane of people armed with calculators could finish typing the numbers in. But what makes this presentation unique is that he uses words in place of numbers to help him keep his thoughts together. If he gets to a large number, he simply replaces it with a word. I find it funny how people like him work like computers. Or maybe computers work like people like him...

I believe Paul Erdos (not correct spelling, Hungarian name) could perform similar feats.
You should probably do a full post on the TED Talks.
Don't forget, this is a rare, but not unique talent. There are many other people who can do similar tasks using their brains (need I mention Rainman?)
