DNA home of memory?

A new find of Miller and Sweatt (2007) may support both the possibility for inheriting memory through DNA and changing DNA through learning.
(see the comments about the link, just click you're sure it is not a spam link)
What if we can inherit memory through DNA? This would explain why there is instinct and recall of trauma without the knowledge of the story. Is methylation the key to the script of our family history? It may give an alternative explanation to why some people are prone to create false memories in Lab situations. The memory isn't false, but doesn't match present history, because it matches prior history.
My idea though is that if our genes is a book, we are not the book, but we live through the book.

royal truth, Belgium

What if even the king is not telling the truth? I was awakened last night by my husband who thought Belgium was at civil war. I live in the country that is north of Belgium and we speak the same language as part of the Belgian. The reason for war was said to be separatism between dutch speakers and french speakers. It turned out to be a hoax with even the king playing a part in it. Sadly leaders not telling the truth exists in many countries, throughout history and throughout the world.
