Sometimes you own the libs. Sometimes, the libs own you.

An interesting story:

It's not personal. It's just war.

The mother of one had been struck by a rare form of amnesia brought on simply by stress.

Nonsense. Enterograde amnesia is drug induced and can be brought on by Rx drugs like Lexapro. I had this briefly, and my grandmother had it permanently after taking the drug.

Quote:

Before her attack, Miss Jacobs, of Manchester, was worrying about a homeopathy business she ran.

She was studying for a psychology degree and had her final exams approaching, and had recently split up with the father of her child.

The condition caused the 'episodic' part of her memory to shut down, meaning she had lost all her emotional memories.

Ergo she was under some sort of care. The thing about this condition is that you have no memory of taking the drug, as you lose years of your life. It's like teleporting backwards in time.

That's what a ship is, you know - it's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs.
