Science News reports that researchers have identified a guy "as the first documented case of beat deafness, a condition in which a person can't feel music's beat or move in time to it." I knew a guy in college with the same condition. He would attempt to "air drum" to his favorite song on the radio, and I was always amazed at his total inability to follow any sort of rhythm. He just flailed his arms in a horrific randomized pattern. I never said anything about it at the time. Maybe someday they'll make a pill for it. (via Boing Boing) #entertainment
