(alicey is studying her biology block. mattgreen is reading websites)
alicey: (muttering) ...kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species...
mattgreen: i can tell you a mnemonic for that: kp crisps offer far greater selection.
alicey: that's crap.
mattgreen: no it isn't, i've remembered the classification order since i was 12 using that.
alicey: i'm going to invent one with swearing in it. there's an "m" in there for "motherfucker", isn't there?
mattgreen: er, no.
alicey: (peering at her book) oh. no there isn't an "m". oh, but there's a "c"! and a "f"! NO PROBLEMO!!

hi hi! i just wanted to let you know i started up my weblog again. i've been out of touch with the blogging scene but just re-found your weblog and am looking forward to catching up with it. hope you're doing well! - rachel
I wish I'd known that mnemonic when I was doing Biology A level, how brilliant that would have been! I had to make up my own one for remembering stages of cell division. IPMAT. (Interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telephase). I remember it to this day - unfortunately it means fuck all as a word, but I figure if its the only cell biology I remember 11 years after my exams, it cant be bad...
