Time stamping objects?

[Jonathan Greenberg]

This is probably an easy question to answer, but I've been killing 
myself over it: I have a model simulating Gorilla movements as 
related to mating and infanticide, and one of the factors is each 
gorilla has a "memory" of those females he's mated with.  I haven't 
had a problem dealing with this: each gorilla has its own list which 
adds female objects to it whenever mating occurs.  Now, how do I make 
them FORGET the female after a certain time?  Can I time stamp the 
memory (using getCurrentTime() ), adding to the Female object?  Or is 
there some way to copy the female object without pointing to the one 
moving around in the simulation?

Thanks!
