Earlier today, Kiran Khalid sent around a note that said: "If you do nothing else today, watch this. Really, it's both endearing and remarkable." She was talking about the video below, which shows a kid named Madhava, who looks about four, naming the capitals of the 50 U.S. states. His father, speaking in Tamil, names the states and the boy rattles off the capitals. My wife, shoulder-surfing as I watched the clip, says "that's so cute... and brilliant." He nails them all. The clip has been played almost 900,000 times (891,053 as of March 10 at 11:59 pm; there are also more than 3,400 comments and 49 video responses - be sure to read through/watch some of them. It's a fascinating/scary discussion). Anyone know anything more about this kid? Has anyone done any stories on him? Boy Genius and U.S. State Capitals
