Woman Unable To Recognize Voices, Unless It's Sean Connery 68
A 60-year-old British woman is suffering from a neurological defect that is sure to put her in the next version of "The Man who Mistook His Wife for a Hat." She is unable to recognize any voice she hears — any voice, that is, but Sean Connery's. Unless she sees the face of the person speaking, she has no idea who is talking to her, even her daughter and co-worker's voices are unrecognizable. Dr. Brad Duchaine at University College London, thinks she might have the first documented case of vocal prosopagnosia, a condition which makes it extremely difficult for people to recognize faces. "His accent is distinctive," Duchaine explained. "And she is a British woman in her sixties ... let's say it's probable he got her attention."

First everyone complained that all the content in idle is stupid and useless, and when there actually is some interesting content, everyone complains that there shouldn't be interesting content in idle. So no matter what slashdot does with idle, it's always wrong?
