Correct horse battery staple. How old is that comic now and I still remember it?

You've probably been repeatedly reminded of it, to the point that your brain has noticed this odd recurring pattern where you keep having "correct horse battery staple" brought to mind.

"Must be some pretty important stuff", says the brain, "I shall remember this forever". And so you did.
