The following quotation just arrived in the signature line of a message from 
a colleague. Seemingly apropos to this discussion of late, I thought I would 
share. . . 

"Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've
forgotten this before." - Steven Wright

Perhaps also germane is another famous Steven Wright line . . . .

"He asked me if I knew what time it was.  I said, "Yes, but not right now.""

I agree Gary, some qualitative research on this fascinating phenomenon is in 
order;
would be a good topic for exploration of this hypothesis-honing technique 
with students.
