Deja vu?

Today I had a sense of deja vu, well not exactly a real deja vu in the sense of the phrase, but a deja vu in the sense of how the day passed. Its was another busy busy day, filled with lots and lots of programming. Programming at work was filled with weird problems. Programming for my research project proved relatively fruitless as there was too many "unknowns". Basically, I felt like the way I felt 2 weeks plus ago, when I just started my programming at work and the research project.

Come to think of it, I actually did have a sense of deja vu today. It was when I was reading some sample code, when I suddenly felt like I had read the same code, in the same manner, at the same time. Actually, after reading so much stuff, I can't really say if I have read the code before. Haha.

Anyway, on to an article on what causes a deja vu. Scientists may have found an explaination for this weird phenomenon that almost everyone of us have experienced at some point in our life. Read on to find out what they think it might be.

HAMBURG - Most of us have experienced deja vu at least once in our lives - that uncomfortable feeling that you have been here in this place, in this situation before.

Usually the sensation lasts for just a moment and is quickly followed by the realization that you have not in fact experienced the current situation in the past, and simply cannot know the place you are in.

Nevertheless, there is the feeling that something was there in our memory, either in part or whole.

The sensation of deja vu, meaning "already seen", was given its name in the 19th century, but for much longer the mental phenomenon has both fascinated and

frightened those who experience it.

Science has had little to offer by way of explanation, adding to the mystery.
