When I was about 8 or so, I heard that sharp blows to the head caused memory loss and possilbly brain damage. I would sit and whack myself in the head with sticks and fists and then ask myself a set of questions... what's your name, where so you live etc. and try figure out what I'd forgotten. What crucial information for my later development was contained in those vital brain cells we shall never know.
