Very true. And it makes me wonder what America would be like if it hadn't suffered Western settlers.
I'm sure I know a few, but the only one I can think of if Fast.MNEMONICS
These have always interested me. It's a way of remembering things with a mental aid, one of the most famous are the colours of the spectrum I was taught at school:
Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain.
Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet
Another one I liked suggested to me by an OU tutor in order to remember the three laws of thermodynamics. (Almost carved in stone for physics.)
Think of them as a card game where you're playing for money: The laws I've simplified a bit:
1. Energy cannot be created or destroyed. (You can't win.)
2. Entropy always increases, i.e. you can't transfer energy from one system to another without some dissipates elsewhere. (You can't break even.)
3. You cannot reach a state of zero energy i.e. reach a temperature of absolute zero. (You can't get out of the game.)
There is another famous one I was taught at college for remembering resistor colour codes but I won't state that here, as it's not quite politically correct, but over the years I've used it many times. Still do.
Anybody else know any ?
