Ah, but can you name one? [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]
Hmmm...
Remember that episode of taxi where the Christopher Loyd character sits down at a piano and starts playing, really well... then he says "Hey, I didn't know I could play the piano!" [img]smile.gif[/img]
I think a more-better example would be if a bank was being robbed as you drove by but you didn't know it at the time. The cops come on TV looking for people who were near the bank when the robbery occurred. You know you didn't see any robbers but you go down and talk to them and they get you to recall a car that was parked in a strange spot right in front of the bank doors. That was important information you knew but didn't know you knew until the cop interviewed you and jarred that memory loose.
