And if you believe the latest research, it can happen to animals too.

Okay, critters don't misplace their electronic devices,

but researchers are finding that memory can be as tricky for some beasties as it is for us.

Take, for example, bees.

These flying foragers are renowned for their ability to remember which flowers are best and where to find them. But it turns out bees can be bullocksed.
