Weather Buffs rejoice I sweet new app for google chrome

I'm a big weather buff/geek, I mean BIG... Ive got my weather band radio on all the time, apps for my iPod touch and bookmarks for all of my fav weather sites. One of my fav websites is weatherunderground.com for its WunderMap. The cool thing about WunderMap is its powered by Google Maps overlayed by a radar and its live, unlike weather.com where you have to wait 10min for an update.
Today I went out looking for a radar app in the chrome store, and as alot of you may know I got a Google Chrome laptop a month ago and have been using it as my main internet browsing computer, so the chrome app that Weather Underground offers only shows you a 5 day weather prediction with a nice background. But as a weather geek I need more. So in comes Full Screen Weather the app take parts of the Chrome App and WunderMap and mashes the together into the greatest weather app on earth.

Check out the Full Screen Weather Chrome App
For those who dont have Google Chrome you can still check the app out, Just Click Here

Amnesia are the movies and tv telling the truth

I was watching one of my favorite TV shows Human Target and in S2 E5 Chance had a client who has amnesia. Let me blow up what the movies and tv shows tell you what amnesia is "A person couldn't remember anything that happened to him"
So I was pondering if this guy couldn't remember anything, than how does he know how to talk, walk, eat, drink or anything that we as humans do by habit?
I mean if someones brain gets wiped of it memory than shouldn't he/she be ported back to a baby state?
Well I guess it wouldn't be a good story.
