ThinkGeek The Brain Bank
Coin palace "Get out. I need to go to my mind palace." - SherlockWhat did you eat for breakfast two days ago? What three things are you supposed to pick up at the grocery store on the way home? What is your quest? If you find yourself forge...tting these things, you need a mind palace. Champions in the skills of memorizing don't have better brains than you. They've just mastered the art of the mind palace. A mind palace is a palace you build in your mind. (NO WAI!) When you want to remember something, you put it somewhere memorable in your mind palace. For example, there's a banana in the shower caddy, a giant box of Cheerios tucked into the red covers of the heart-shaped bed, and the living room is festooned with toilet paper. What three things do we need at the store? Bananas. Cheerios. Toilet Paper. BAM. The Brain Bank is your coin palace. Drop your coins in there and eventually you'll be able to dump them into the CoinStar machine at the grocery store and it'll be just like getting your bananas, Cheerios, and toilet paper for FREE!
