Do you honestly expect people to ignore the opportunity to say yes to that question?

The film is memorable. The conference call is not. Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time.
I have CDO, it's OCD with the letters in the right order; just as they ruddy well should be

My memory tanked over a period of years while I was vegetarian. Fixing my diet and getting back in shape helped me out a lot.

Yes. Three seconds is way too long :)
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

I can only get into online banking using a keyboard with a number pad because my fingers know the ID numbers and so on but I do not.

I was just about to post this exact example. A while back I realised this was dangerous and I tried to write down the numbers. Thankfully I'm left handed so I could write while pressing the keypad keys with my right hand. Unfortunately I discovered a flaw. My fingers are incapable of remembering the digits when they are being watched. With a bit of trial and error I got it, had it gone on any longer I'd have been getting out a camcorder and a tripod. -Rd

I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.

Why not type in notepad, so that you can see the result?
If I'm not getting it to type the numbers into a banking website, my hand get's all coy. It's a built in anti-phishing safe guard. Also, the camcorder would have been a more technically cool solution than notepad. Kind of like inventing a zero gravity pen instead of just using a pencil. -Rd

No. It's muscle memory. Your fingers know what order to press the buttons in. Our old office had a burgular alarm - usual thing - type in a short number into a keypad, and close the door to set it. We moved out 7 years later (I probably set/unset the alarm most days), and the new occupant asked me what the alarm code was. I had no idea. :doh: I had to go back to the office, and enter the number, while he watched the keypad to see which buttons I pressed.

I learned how to finish a rubik's cube a few months ago, using a tutorial on the web based on small stories to remember the moves more easily. Now I have forgotten almost all stories, but I can still finish the rubik's cube. Muscle memories. This is also a good advantage for computer keypads vs. phone keypads, which are inverted. Otherwise, you would have to think "wait, am I on a phone or a computer, is the 1 key again on the top or on the bottom, ..".
