trivet I learned ROY G. BIV for the rainbow... Jul 13, 2007
reesetee Ditto. Wouldn't be as much fun that way, and jennarenn wouldn't have been able to make her list of memorable threads. :-) Jul 13, 2007
uselessness You know, there are *some* web sites where people get all mad if a thread derails and ends up miles from where it started.
I'm rather glad Wordie isn't one of them. Jul 13, 2007
reesetee I have a headache. Jul 13, 2007
oroboros Funny, the semi-acronym M-VEM-J-SUN-P always works for me. Oh, and VIB-GYOR for the rainbow spectrum. Weird brain, I guess.
Here's one I made up for figuring out whether the moon's waxing or waning: "If the light's on the Right, it's aRriving. If the Light's on the Left, it's Leaving". You've got to be able to rotate the moon in your imagination (or tilt your head) slightly if the illuminated portion seems to be mostly on the bottom of the moon's disc. Jul 13, 2007
trivet My Very Elderly Mother Just Served Us Nine Pies...Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge...SoCaToa...King Phillip Came Over From Greece Swimming...
There were so many! Jul 13, 2007
arby I feel like I learned a different mnemonic (with Pluto) back in school but I'll be damned if I can remember what it was. Jul 13, 2007
arby Here are some other mnemonic suggestions - though I still like uselessness's best. Jul 13, 2007
reesetee You should charge usage fees, too. It's a good one. Jul 13, 2007
uselessness I just made it up. I think I'm going to use it though. ;-) Jul 13, 2007
reesetee HAHA! U, did you make that up or have I missed it going around?
Arby, I've heard that song--always cracks me up too. Jul 13, 2007
uselessness My Very Exclusionary Mother Just Served Us Nothing. (Prick.) Jul 13, 2007
arby I always think of the TMBG cover of "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)". My history teacher in 8th grade actually sang it to us, it was pretty funny. Jul 13, 2007
reesetee Funny how things get stashed in one's mind, isn't it? I'm still worrying about how to revise the old mnemonic for remembering the order of the planets, now that Pluto has been...well, plutoed. Jul 13, 2007
uselessness When I was ten, I played Harlan in Life With Father at the local theatre. It's a minor (but lovable) character with a couple lines; that's one of them. Funny I still remember it to this day. Jul 13, 2007
reesetee Especially if you go about it *that* way. ;-) Jul 13, 2007
