Geek Moment!

So, I'm playing the 3D cyberpunk video game "Deus Ex" yesterday... I find a note that an engineer has left for his superior, alerting him that the new root password for the local computer system is "reindeerflotilla."

I sit there and think, "That sounds so familiar... why is that familiar to me?"

Turns out it's the internal level 6 password to the Emcon mainframe that Jeff Bridges uses in the movie "Tron."

Why does my brain only store this stuff? Why can't I remember anything useful?
