~~a planet by any other name is still "Pluto" to me!!~~

I agree with ya, Trudy.

~~David Letterman said, Now that Pluto has lost it's planet status it plans to run as an independent.~~

Funny, honey.

I looked it up, LW. It stands for the lines on a treble clef.

Also, I wonder how many of you still recall the "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally" saying for remembering the order of math operations.


And while this is not a mnemonic, I've shared this little poem with people for remembering how many days are in the months:

30 Days hath September,
April, June, and November.
February has 28 alone...
All the rest have 31.
Excepting leap year... that's the time
When February's days are 29.

Goofy but still helps me remember.

"Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally" saying for remembering the order of math operations.

That gets a little shakey when you're doing limits, differentials, and integrals.

Oh since we're doing mneumonic devices here's one that is as hilarious as it is useful:

Kyle,
Please
Come
Over
For
Gay
Sex

Which stands for the order of classification in science:

Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species

This really does help a lot.

---This really does help a lot.---

It helps you as in you remember the classification better, or it helps when Kyle comes over your house?


Only joking, Zoo, so don't get too angry.

I've never heard of that one...lol.

30 Days hath September, April, June, and November. February has 28 alone... All the rest have 31. Excepting leap year... that's the time When February's days are 29.

Dreissig Tage hat Septembre,
Avril, Juni und Novembre
Febraur hat acht und zwanzig
Alle ander hat ein und dreissig.

It actually works better in German.

30 Days hath September,April, June, and November.February has 28 alone...All the rest have 31.Excepting leap year... that's the timeWhen February's days are 29.

I still use this one too and taught it to my kids. I don't even think they remember it!!


Then of course there's 'i before e except after c' concept!


Aw gee, Pluto...I heard the news. What a thing to happen after all the time spent in school learning about it!

Only joking, Zoo, so don't get too angry.

Grr! You're lucky I have a sense of humor.
