** Constantly forget where you parked? Breathing through your left nostril may help, say Indian researchers. Adults ages 20-45 who practiced this yoga technique had a 16% boost in spatial memory, which is key for navigating complex parking lots or garages. Experts beleive there's a link between the nostril you breathe through and the parts of the brain that control memory.Can't remember how to shoot that bank or remember the diamond system? Can't remember how to play the best safe on that shot? Can you imagine if you saw someone pressing on their right nostril to close it to help them remember something at the pool table? If you see me doing this, DON'T LAUGH! I sometimes need all the help I can get! ;)

"He's asked for his extension"
"Wait a minute, what's he doing now?
"He appears to be holding his right nostril and breathing deeply... WTF?"
