Sandbox II
"I'm just one hundred and one, five months and a day." "I can't believe that!" said Alice. "Can't you?" the Queen said in a pitying tone. "Try again: draw a long breath, and shut your eyes." Alice laughed. "There's no use trying," she said: "one can't believe impossible things." "I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." Alice in Wonderland
"My name is Alice, but — " "It's a stupid name enough!" Humpty Dumpty interrupted impatiently. "What does it mean?" "Must a name mean something?" Alice asked doubtfully. "Of course it must," Humpty Dumpty said with a short laugh: "my name means the shape I am — and a good handsome shape it is, too. With a name like yours, you might be any shape, almost."
From that day onwards, the silver fox would live in a world of past memories, unaware that he had a problem forming new ones. By way of compensation, like many Korsakoff's sufferers, he would fill in gaps by confabulating plausible but nonetheless crazy stories. "I think i saw you at the ball park, " he might say to someone he had just met. "That hot dog was great, wasn't it?" The urge to fabricate experieneces probably grows out of a need to save face. Many alcoholics do it in the early stages of the sundrome, and while it is an intersting component of memory loss, it is not a necessary one. - 76, Reaching down the rabbit hole, allan ropper

Dead water A person in a boat going over the ocean shouldn't notice a difference between stratified fresh and saltwater and the regular sea — at first. Then, after a traveling normally for a little while through the layered water, their boat will slow, or even stop, seemingly without cause. As the sailor tries to maneuver the craft around, it will either fail to respond to their steering at all, or exaggerate their turns wildly. It will seem as though the boat is being held back, or pushed around, by powerful forces, but the surface of the ocean will remain calm and unchanging. Sailors who strayed into stretches of water like this call it "dead water."
