Numbers. I remember numbers.
Why do I remember this stuff? Anyone else keep this trivia in their heads?

262 was my security badge number at NavSeGru Nicosia.
I can't remember where I left my shoes! But Hub can remember people's batting averages and slugging percentages and the scores of football games. Eep.

Posted by: Linkmeister at September 15, 2004 03:08 PMOh God, yes. I remember all the license plates of all the cars my family has ever had (but where are my car keys? what time do I have to pick kid #1 up and drop kid #2 off?). All the phone numbers of everywhere I've lived since I was seven, too, mostly by making words out of them (one house: 756-TACO, another: PRO-KELP).
This is some kind of idiot savant thing, isn't it? ;)
