Dang that's good news. Just this morning my wife accused me of having Alzheimers! Oh doctor...prescription please!
Apparently this story was reported on Fox. The feedback comments at the link above are interesting to read.

8. Scientists have theorized that short-term memory loss can be beneficial.
Apparently, it's a way to "clean up the clutter" and strengthen long-term memory.
