Did you know Trivia - There is a joke currently going around Russia - which has Vladimir Putin and Dmitry Medvedev waking up in the Kremlin in 2023 with a vicious hangover.
Putin to Medvedev: "Which of us is president and which of us is prime minister today?"
"I don't remember," Medvedev replies. "I could be prime minister today."
"Then go fetch some beer," Putin says.

Did you know Trivia - Researchers at Durham University, England believe that student under achievement can be due to poor working memory rather than low intelligence.

"From the various large-scale studies we have done, we believe the only way children with poor working memory can go on to achieving academic success is by teaching them how to learn despite their small capacity to store information mentally," lead researcher Dr. Tracy Alloway of Durham University said in a statement.
