You know they say that as you get older your memory gets worse?

Well, it's occuring to me that it doesn't get worse, it just gets....bigger....

I find myself not able to remember pertinent facts not because I don't have the answer, but because there are several pertinent facts. I've watched so many comedians that I don't remember which told what jokes etc. As soon as someone mentions the name, I'll immediately put names to faces/quotes etc, but sometimes getting information out without some kind of guide is pot luck.

It's kinda like having a Hard Drive that's filling up with data, it takes longer to access the data, and there's no defrag option

It's wierd...

Meh, if that's how it is when you get older, I'm f00ked. I'm that way now...

i think im like that due to years of alcohol abuse(damn im only 20)

eh, sorry, what?

what was then question again ?

Who are you and why are you in my house?!

House? So that's what you call it!

A ho...hoo....huos.....bugger.

LoL.

I call it a magical drug that induces that kind of behaviour... <..< >..>

But yes, some things are best left forgotten.

I have a horrible short term memory at times, my long term memory isn't all that great either.

A friend of mine is a bloody robot though. He memorised pi to 100 decimals, has recorded all of our mates number plates in his head, and is very very rarely ever seen forgetting something.
I reckon his brain will wear out as he gets older though.

Periodic table in school was a frickin' nightmare. Everyweek a test, get less than half (10) right and you had to write it all down. then 2 copies the next week, 3 copies the next. I had about 50 copies after a couple of months.

I could never learn anything by heart, but I can remember stuff with practice. I can remember lots and lots of useless facts, but putting it all together is hard... And that's just being 18.....

V/TOSL = vertical take off and short landing. No doubt the fate of the universe will hinge on my knowing that.

What do you know?

I've always known it as V/STOL, too. Vertical/Short Take Off and Landing.

I've always known it as just VTOL, but that was for the Harrier
