If I Didn't Have A Mind Like A Sieve

I read a story today about a woman in California going by the name "AJ" who remembers EVERYTHING.

She has scientists totally baffled at her ability to remember things that happened on any date in any year and every detail in between. They would throw a date at her and she could tell you what happened on that day whether it was in the news or in her life.

Imagine having that kind of super power? I wish I did! I mean, you could do a lot of damage and use it to blackmail your enemies. Maybe you'd be able to remember your password on the computer at work! I'm always forgetting that one because they make us change it every 6 weeks.

It won't be long before the US military starts using her for espionage missions. They could send her to Iraq and remember every detail about insurgent activity. They wouldn't even suspect. They could send her to top secret meetings and use her like a tape recorder.

She would make a bundle! Maybe NBC could use her for a game show. Stump the human encyclopedia! They're hurtin' for ratings.

I think her weakness is she's American. Many Americans don't know what's going on outside their own borders. So I think she only remembers American things. Ask her what happened in Europe on any date, and you'd probably stump her.
