I read once a book about improving memory. Among other things, the author recommended using "smart drugs." The most important smart drug is nicotine. Experiments on rats prove nicotine has some limited benefits in short-term memory in rats, but the greatest benefits are aesthetic: smoking a churchwarden pipe makes rats look adorable and wiser according to a survey among rat researchers. Most respondents to the survey were single females, and everyone else forgot to check their email inbox and respond to the survey.

We need to conduct some research along these lines, too.

If you lose your memory, forget it.

Smart move, Cousin. With things the way they are, we’re actually better off not remembering too well!

That sounds somewhat familiar.

What if the book made you remember things you're glad you forgot?
