Hah! However, I think a more important question along those lines would be something like, "How on earth can I remember all this stuff, while I can't remember where I left common household objects such as my keys?"

Seriously, though, it's true, at least in my case. I was about to respond with the answer "cavies" before I noticed this reply. And yet I've attempted several times to take my glasses off when I wasn't even wearing them (or, for that matter, put them on when I already had them on). A fairly good amount of the time, I also somehow manage not to notice anything that's directly in front of my eyes. ("Oh, the paper's THERE! Why didn't you just say so?!") Needless to say, I don't drive; reason it out and you'll probably be able to figure out why.

OK, so I'm weird. But you already knew that by now, didn't you?
