   Are you one of those people who remembers everything they hear?
  Particularly those with no whatsoever practical uses?  For example, I can tell you right now that Pi is approximately 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399... that there are 46 chromosomes in human DNA, that the sun is approximately 93 billion miles away from the earth, that this year a rodent fossil was discovered that is the size of a buffalo, and various other completely useless things.How about you?

  I tend to remember anecdotes, which is great when you can use one in a conversation, makes you look pretty wise and clever.Unfortunatly, the opportunity never seems to arise...

"Absorb what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own." - Lee Jun Fan ;  I remember movie dialog. I saw a movie once, for years ago, then again last week and I remembered about 40% of the dialog. I can''t remember what movie it was right now, but the next time I see it, I''ll probably do the same thing. ;quote:Original post by JY  Yep. Except for the rodent.   How many digits of Pi do you have memorized?   ;  I have a thing for names. I know that the name of Nicholas Cage´s character in ConAir was Cameron Poe. ;  In highschool physics, it was posted on the wall as..3.141592736  and that is all the precision I can remember and ever hope for unless I''m building a universe.

That''s completely wrong... it''s 3.141592653 for the first nine decimal places.   ;  And this was CP physics - no wonder I''m so screwed up.  I know I''ve seen it yall''s way many times, always wondered if that little PI thing on the wall was wrong.
