I'm writing this from memory, but here's a bit of trivia on the whole 'memory' thing:

There is a part of your brain called the 'Hippocampal' which is responsible for your short term memory. All the bits of information that you remember over any short period of time (a few minutes) sits here, until it is either forgotten or committed to your long term memory.

nb: it is called the 'Hippocampal' because it looks a bit like a seahorse, which is Hippocampus in Latin.

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,

Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.

Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand

It will be late to counsel then or pray.

Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,

Better by far you should forget and smile

Than that you should remember and be sad.

-Christina Rossetti-
