Life's Little Questions

Why do you remember useless stuff, but forget what you really need to know?

You'll forget where your keys are, where the remote is, what you wanted when you went shopping... But remember how much change you've got in your wallet, random lines from films and... well, other random stuff.

For example, I remember that the Labour Party's 1983 election manifesto was deemed 'the longest suicide note in history', but try getting me to remember Phillip Bobbit's six modalities that a Justice can use to judge a case and I'm lost. Bah.

Stupid brain.

Shakespeare of the day:
Well, heaven forgive him, and forgive us all.
Some rise by sin and some by virtue fall,
Some run from breaks of ice and answer none,
And some condemed for a fault alone.

From Measure For Measure, Escalus in Act 2, Scene 1.
