I get stuff like this all the time, remembering completely trivial, unimportant things from years ago, and forgetting important, pertinent things. I do know a lot, as I spend most of my free time learning, but I am only 20. Although, I do have a schizophrenia spectrum disorder, and a multitude of other mental problems, so it's more likely not because I know too much.
In any case, I don't buy the "knowing too much" theory. I think it's pretty well known that as people age, telomeres shorten and the body becomes less and less capable of performing functions up to standard. That makes a lot more sense for this phenomenon than people simply knowing too many things. As we already know, the brain is not like a hard drive or ROM that can just fill up, or be easily erased.

do they do cities like Kansas City, Provo, Raleigh, and others instead of ones like Seattle?
Perhaps its Etruscan, at long last?
That would be awesome. I would love to learn Etruscan, if only we knew enough about it to be able to. :(
