I like the Einstein quote about the speed of light - some smartass asked him to recite it, and he’s basically like “I don’t memorize trivial information that’s easily looked up in books” Could be totally apocryphal, but I like the sentiment. |

I get accused at having a poor memory A LOT!.
And I constantly tell people, I have a great memory - there are just things I dont choose to commit to memory.
I can tell you every single password I have typed into a machine. FblQ00Ho <--- ix.netcom.com 1996
But I cant tell you WHAT YOU TOLD ME you ate for lunch yesterday and suddenly I am a jerk.
"Why cant you recall what I told you yesterday??!?!?!?"
UH, because thats ephemeral information I dont need to hold in my head?
