OK, that’s impressive

It’s just a fetus, but it remembers:

The Washington Times reports on a study that indicates fetuses have memories:

They weigh less than 3 pounds, usually, and are perhaps 15 inches long. But they can remember.

The unborn have memories, according to medical researchers who used sound and vibration stimulation, combined with sonography, to reveal that the human fetus displays short-term memory from at least 30 weeks gestation – or about two months before they are born.

“In addition, results indicated that 34-week-old fetuses are able to store information and retrieve it four weeks later,” said the research, which was released Wednesday.

Wow! That’s like, 3 weeks, 6 days and 23-and-a-half hours later than I can! On a good day!
