Hi all,
I sent this bit of trivia to Frank off-list, but it seems that there might
be a more general interest. So if you will be so kind as to indulge--
Un-chile related info: inhaling the scent of rosemary (the herb) enhances
your memory. I don't know why, but if you have some crushed rosemary
leaves, or essential oil or whatever, around while you're studying, you'll
be able to recall the information better come test time. Give it a try-it
got me A's in Latin.
