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.
Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Fudge. Not Favor.
You're right, it should be Favour.

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.

My most useful mnemonic (at least for me) was taught to me by a supervisor I had in a college job. When I complained that I always had to write down both "seperate" and "separate" and look at them to figure out which was the correct spelling, he told me to "Always remember that there is 'a rat' in 'separate'!" I've never had problems spelling that word since.
