Gee, thanks! Now I do have 2 songs running threw my head! I have to switch stations in order to sing the correct words but I can hear the two of them at once, you know, like when you are losing one station and picking up another one.Originally Posted by strange_wings
^I'm not sure insects have emotions, even basic ones.Though they can feel pain, respond to it, and learn from it to some degree.
What I'm thinking at the moment, and maybe someone can help. Has anyone ever had two (or more) songs stuck in their head at the same time? It actually sounds like two songs being played to me, not a back and forth.
Well I was reading somewhere that due to how the brain recalls information that it's not really possible to remember two memories at once. But what are remembered songs but a type of memory?
...This is actually one of my more simple random thoughts. I'm usually always theorizing about something!
Lots of people do (or so I hope).Originally Posted by butzie
So, my random thought is not so random because I am thinking about memories. I have smellovision memories, like I can smell Old Spice when I think about my Uncle Karl. Any one else have smelly memories?
Amygdala sounds like a beautiful name for a cat, maybe Nova would like to be called my little amygdala.Originally Posted by strange_wings
And yep, random thoughts and more reading on the amygdala the other day led to me having the answer to this one.
Walmart!!Originally Posted by GailC
While at Fleet Farm today (the Wisconsin residents know this store I hope). I commented to the cashier that where could one buy small cylinders of propane (for my weed torch), potato chips (on sale!) vegetable seeds and canning lids all in the same place?
She probably thought I was a bit odd!!

I'm the queen of random thoughts!my mind bounces around alot. Sometimes I think I have ADD. Smells are connected to your memory. I don't remember how but I remember hearing that. I always have songs stuck in my head it is usually Jingle Bells. Unless it is Christmas time go figureMy random thought right now is about shoe laces. How do they get that little plastic thing on the end so tight and get it to stay so well?
Do you know doodling while listening to something, particularly boring things, actually improves your memory instead of distracting you?Originally Posted by sillyitiliangrl
Scents are a greaty study too, btw, for any of you who are still in school. If you always study a certain topic while say, wearing vanilla hand lotion, and you wear vanilla hand lotion to the test, it boosts ur memory a bitI believe it has to be something wiht a strong scent, like vanilla, or lavandar though.
Actually I did, I tell my students that I totally get the importance of doodeling, but if they doodle they MUST doodle on their notesOriginally Posted by strange_wings

So for all of us that have always doodled, we weren't day dreaming, we were making it easier to pay attention.

That depends. Did someone walk by you that may have had that scent on? Or did you just smell it out of the blue. If the former, it's probably a memory. If no one was around and you just smelled it, I would say someone is "nudging" you for a reason. Anyway, that's my belief.Originally Posted by Pami
Regarding smells and memories, what if out of the blue doing something totally unrelated, you smell the perfume of someone who is deceased. Is that you remembering them? Or is that something else?
Thats my random question.
They have a name????Originally Posted by sillyitiliangrl

Those Bing ads are how my brain works! I really think I have ADD or something. I feel bad for people who are trying to have a convo with me! I could talk about a rubber band and it uses for 2hours and with out missing a beat be onto the subject of paper plates.Originally Posted by strange_wings
Emy4cats - Clink on that link I posted, it explains what I said in better detail. As for how shoe laces are made - have you (or anyone) ever watched any of the shows on the Science Channel? There may be some online, too. But there's at least three shows; How It Works, How Its Made, and How Do They Do It where they show all sorts of random things like that.
The episode about how hot dogs were made was a bit off putting.

I assume many people have seen the Microsoft Bing commercials? My brain can work a little bit like that sometimes, random and sometimes unrelated info on thousands of things and it never stops.There's always some mixed mental sound track that can change depending on various melodies or phrases I see and hear throughout the day.
Currently I'm thinking about Enceladus.

I LOVE How It's Made!!
My next random thoughts do the little balls at the end of your hair brush stick things have a name? What is the difference between fur and hair? If I choose not to believe in the Gravitational Theory will I float?
