drat! I've forgotten what I wanted to say!

the blame for this sort of memory loss can be placed on the failure to "shunt" thoughts from short-term to long-term memory. [after Oliver Sacks]

short-term memory is good for only three(3) minutes, or less.

If I had managed to remember to post all the cool stuff I've thought about whilst brushing my teeth and mowing the lawn, I'd be a carpel by now. part of the eeeevil consortium, cruel and despised
