I think I accidentally deleted all the cookies off my brain's harddrive →[More:]I cannot remember a single password. This morning I forgot my ATM PIN, which hasn't changed in 15 years. Jeez.

Aren't you supposed to get a warning message before these are deleted? Maybe I disabled that function.

Are you sure you want to Delete All Cookies?

You're supposed to eat cookies, not delete them. You silly.

Your password is GWER23RTW!

As they get older drives have more frequent errors. ;)

Have you tried turning it off and then turning it back on? I hear that sometimes helps.

Someone brought some excellent oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and put them in the office kitchen. I have been slowly but steadily deleting them all day.

You have to zap the pRAM.

I had so many dreams, back in high school, about getting to school and having forgotten my locker combination, that I can no longer say for sure that I never actually had that happen to me or not.

I have come to the conclusion that, instead of a HDD, the majority of my memory consists of RAM. This means that, every morning when I reboot, I've forgotten everything I learned the day before. maybe I need to flash my EPROM or something.

I deleted so many double-choc-chip-cookies-made-with-sweetened-condensed-milk last night that I can still taste them this morning.
