>Uh - Oh! You sound like Andy's mother. She is 95 years old and the short term memory is nonexistent. She will tell us a story in enormous detail and then, 2 minutes later, she tells us the same story because she can't remember that she hjust told it. It really is uncanny - it is as if someone pushed the rewind button on a tape recorder and hit play because she uses the exact same words that she did the first time <g>.
Yeah, I have a very senior memory - snatches of conversation from 15 years ago stick with me - where I put my car keys 20 minutes ago is a black hole
Charles Hankey
Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
