Any way to recover items on clipboard (cntr+c clipboard)?

Question

I just copied a huge chunk of text into my mac's clipboard, but i accidentally copied something else right on top of it. Now the huge chunk is gone and I'm wondering if there's ANY way to go back through what's logged in my clipboard.

Gaaah, I'm such an idiot! :p

I have never used a Mac before but if its anything like a PC then once you copied new data over the old your errased it from your computers memory. Basically the clipboard is a small amount of memory set aside for copying and pasting text, images and other types of data.

Go back and recopy the old data you erased from the original source to get it back into your clipboard.
