It seems to me that there was a thread like this. Just now my blind friend called us (husband has the reputation for this, more so than I) and wanted to know something about drungundstorm or something like that. Now I had one year of German in 6th grade, I think my husband had a semester in college. In other words, many, many moons ago. I actually came up with the answer (sturm und drang). Now, why (a) did I know it to begin with (b) why did I remember it (c) why would a 76 year old blind woman want to know what it was? My husband and I have this feature (I hate to call it a quality) in common, that we remember odds and bits of information that you'd think we and our friends would have no use for.
