To demonstrate how weird her associations are, Cueball asks her, &amp;quot;Who is {{w|John Lennon}}?&amp;quot; Lennon was a founding member of {{w|The Beatles}}, which is one of the most famous bands of all time. Megan recognizes Lennon as a musical artist, but is unable to remember the name of The Beatles. &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;Bizarrely she ''does'' remember &lt;/ins&gt;the &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;name of Lennon's bandmate &lt;/ins&gt;{{w|Ringo Starr}}. &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;Even stranger&lt;/ins&gt;, &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;Megan still fails &lt;/ins&gt;to &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;associate Ringo with &lt;/ins&gt;The Beatles, but rather &lt;ins class=&quot;diffchange diffchange-inline&quot;&gt;remembers him &lt;/ins&gt;as Mr. Conductor from the first season of the 1989 children's television show ''{{w|Shining Time Station}}''.
