    Vague recollections of a song based on some comic saying that's been kicked around:
    "The sophomore, the mighty, speaks:
    The more you study, the more you know
    The more you know, the more you forget,
    The more you forget, the less you know,
    So why study?
    The less you study, the less you know,
    The less you know, the less you forget,
    The less you forget, the more you know,
    So why study?"

    I've forgotten more than I ever knew.
