    My brain can remember odd facts but I forget people's names or the names of things, even when I've known them for years and said it 25 minutes before.
    It's not an uncommon problem for people with AD/HD.
    So here are a few:
    Australia's diameter from east to west is wider than the Moon's.
    Honey never goes bad. If it has turned into a hard lump all you have to do is warm it up.
    Lemon's float on water but limes sink.
    Also lemons and limes are the result of human genetic engineering. It just took much longer than if it was done in a lab.
    Your brain constantly goes through a process called autophagy. (I had to look the name for it up cause as stated I forget names). I just remember it as your brain is always eating itself.

    My brain is starving.



    I wonder if autophagy has ties to vasculitus?
