Possibly. No. Maybe. Yes. I can't control what my brain retains (except in rare circumstances) and consequently it's filled with a lot of useless bullshit that nobody cares about, bits and pieces of everything I ever read.

Had a phase where I read a bunch of Wiki articles about Marvel comics. This caused a few awkward moments where I'd throw in a random comment in a conversation I was overhearing but then wasn't able to follow it up with anything substantial with my comic book expert interlocutors who'd actually read what they were talking about.
