..and Quizzing

Shouldn't forget the part about quizzing and trivia. There'll be some of that too..

Here's one for the road

Q) There’s a speech disorder called “Spasmodic Dysphonia” in which the part of the brain that controls speech just shuts down. There’s supposed to be no cure for this. However, this person kept trying various things to recover from this, and ultimately realized that using rhymes in speech was the key to recovery. He quoted
“Jack be nimble, Jack be quick,
Jack jumped over the candlestick”

for a day and night, and his speech recovered, making him the first known person ever to recover from “Spasmodic Dysphonia”. Who are we talking about?
