Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Huh. Bill Frist changed his stance on fed funding for stem cell research: [link]
Like -t, I needed the mnemonic past Mars pretty much. Roy G. Biv is the way I learned the order of colors in the visible spectrum; never thought about it before it was presented in class in grade school. I can't not think of the mnemonics when I think of either one.
I don't know why I'm surprised that there is a minor planet mailing list.
Dude, there was this whole huge kefuffle when one of the big planetariums/science museums (can't recall which! Ahrg.) decided to no longer refer to Pluto a planet. Like, angry words at conferences and snubs and all sorts of asshattery and not-speaking. The astronomy community can be...goofy.
Speaking of which, anyone else know what "oh be a fine girl(guy) kiss me right now silly! " stands for?
I think I had that one down by 9, for some reason.
This is also the first time I've ever heard of Roy G. Biv. Huh. The only mnemonic I remember is Every Good Boy Deserves Favor, and that's only because the Moody Blues have an album by that name.
Every Good Boy Deserves Favor
Fudge. Not Favor.
dammit
Fudge. Not Favor.
You're right, it should be Favour.

The flip-flop that dare not speak its name....
ding ding!
Dad loved to fill my head with odd-for-my-age knowlege
I know there was a mnemonic for remembering the full classification of man besides Homo Sapiens, but I can't remember it. How ironic.
Fudge. Definitely. Fudge and pie. I have tasty mnemonics.
What's one for species, kingdom, phylum, and all that jazz? I never learned one.
