	Clive  +  318834 Tue, 23 Jan 07 02:15 PM Hi, What does a onion memory mean? I came across the word when reading a book, but forgot the context. Is it a memory like a sieve or something like that? I don't know the phrase, but it sounds like it means a memory that comes in layers. eg First you remember this, then you remember a bit more, then a bit more, etc. Or perhaps you like vegetables, and you just have a memory about an onion?
