It's not because I'm crazy. It's not because I'm weird It's because it's an abstract image and abstract images Abstract thoughts are easier to remember they tend to stay in our mind think of your drive back home from work If it's a normal drive that you've taken a million times before you're not gonna remember What the drive last Wednesday was like or if it was different from the drive on Thursday, you know I remember it doesn't have significance But for something to stay in your memory something strange has to happen or something odd has to happen So if a fox run across the road or you witness the car crash You're more likely to remember that particular drive because it was out of the ordinary Same thing with people's names if you associate their name with something It's a bit off a bit strange.
