JocMeister if you hadn't been sleeping you would've remembered something. [:D]
The question is, do they remember? [:'(]

They probably do but it might not always be a positive memory! [:D]

RE: OT: Can you name 100 of something from memory alone?
Sure, it's easy to remember 100 of something -- it's just a matter of how trivial that something is. I could easily name 100 countries, probably several hundred cities outside the US (probably even 100+ in the UK), airlines through history, thousands of airport codes, etc. But who would care? [:)]

Can you (the collective "you all") name every girl/woman you've ever kissed? Has to be at least 100, right? [8D]
My list is so short a horse could count it out

Obvert, do you know how to pronounce Van Gogh? I'm thinking of a Klingon dish.

I used to be able to name all 96 English Football League teams, plus the Vauxhall Conference. Not any more though, if I could remember all those then I'd forget my name.

There was no U-685, you n00b. Also, there was no break in the numbering from U-1 to U-100.
It was an alliteration, dumbass. [:'(] Your sure about the 'no break' between U-1 to U-100? I'll have to check on that (crosses fingers that they left ONE, just ONE out)

The 50 states is easy but I used to be able to name all the capitals too. All the US Presidents but I can't remember the order of them between Jackson and Lincoln. Only about half of them were elected, I think. They kept dropping dead in office. I think I could ID the symbols on the periodic table up to 103 or so and even give the latin or german name where it differs from the english like wolfram, aurum, argentum, ferrium, oops I can't remember tin or mercury, hygro something I think. I used to know. Getting old. Can't remember the at. no. for each any more either, just a few. Pb for lead, I forget that one too. Used to be able to name each Hitchcock movie in order. Same for Kurosawa. I could tell you which of the fat guy's flicks were scored by Bernard Hermann. Can't anymore. That's the trouble with Harry, I guess. I'm not the man who knew too much anymore. He made that one twice, by the way. I've been in all the 48 states except Florida. I think I'll stay out of that one. It's all going to be underwater before long anyway. I've been in most of Canada's provinces too. Went to a Catholic church in Montreal on Sunday once. It was all Latin and French. Didn't understand a word of it. I remember my family was dressed like tourists, shorts and the like. There were some young men hanging around the entrance smoking cigarettes and they were all wearing black suits and ties. They looked at us like 'what the f...?' How do you say that in French? [:D]
Be sure and list Kansas first.

Good to hear from you, Kansas. You owe me 24 of a certain something, if I recall correctly? [:)]

I used to know all 96 Football league grounds as a kid. Then automatic promotion / relegation to the Conference (or whatever it was called then) took off + teams kept building new stadia. I mean how selfish is that? Wrecking my party-piece like that....[:@]
