So I won't still need the library? I should be able to find all my bed time reading material in my brain.
Hmmm, maybe the filing system's gone a bit wonky. . .

Re: Brain capacity

Hi

My brain may well be able to store vast amounts of facts and books.

However I cannot find my car keys on a daily basis.

The other weird thing is that I can remember faces, thousands of them, for years, and also remember where I saw them, a great help in my old job.

I cannot remember names, they just disappear almost instantly.

Women of course, can remember exactly what you said months ago, often quite innocent statements, and then repeat them verbatim to win an argument.

Very true and, girls, it's always a good idea to keep written evidence in case you encounter a 'slippery customer'

It can take a while to learn that Swimmy. It's knowledge passed down through the generations.
