A hundred thousand things race through y head. The number isn't an exaggeration, it is an impossibility. Nevertheless they are all there,and they have stopped my thinking.

Seven plus or minus two items in short term memory is what studies have shown. 7 seems to be the most frequently occuring number of items people can maintain.

[busterh]

Yes, I realize that. Jsut like I'm sure you realize that I had to comment to assure myself that I actually know something about what I've been studying for the past 5 years.

[mascrider]

Oh. I thought you were just saying that to assure yourself that you existed.

[busterh]

Oh, I'm fairly confident of my own existence, it's everyone else's that I sometimes question.
