I have more useless trivia stuffed in my head.
I read some interesting stuff on dyslexia the other day, how dyslexics think in multiple dimensions and store memories differently than non dyslexics. We tend to think of things as pictures, not symbols like letters or numbers.
I once memorized every line in the play South Pacific. I got a small role in the play in high school, 'cause that's where the chicks were. When one of the leads backed out at his girlfriends insistence, I got the part by virtue of knowing all the lines. I have no idea when or why I learned all the lines, I just knew 'em.
Part of the problem is all the useless crap. I'm certain it shoved out information I'm gonna need one day. So if you see me wandering around spouting Shakespeare and turning over everything in sight, help me find my keys or whatever it is I've forgotten.
