[OT[ ECAC trivia

Don't get me thinking about Math Course _____. All three are repressed memories i think i'm better off without. Or maybe i don't remember 'cause i was sleeping.

I learned it as King Phillip Came over from greater Spain.

ROY G BIV = Russians on Yachts Go Bathing in Vodka.

Didn't write it out completely because I thought it was something we all learned by junior high.

Oh Be A Fine Girl, Kiss Me.

O B A F G K M - types of stars in decreasing order of temperature.  (For instance, our Sun is a G-type star.)  Yet another mnemonic device to add to the mix.

It's the band of visible light that consists of a spectrum of wavelengths.  In this instance, Greg didn't include V, or Violet.  ROY-G-BIV is a well known acronym in the science community to remember the order.

Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet[/q]

I got a Mechanical Engineering degree in 2002.  When I first looked at the sequence of letters, it did look like the mnemoic device for the order of colors in the visible region of the EM spectrum.  But it didn't seem to have any relation to hockey, so I thought it might have been something else (like Central NY, North Country, Capital District, etc.)

Heh..the one I taught myself for that was "Only bad astronomers fear giant killer martians."

[q](The USCHO column this week says [Martinez] is 9-2-1 (last week, when the top played the bottom in many games) and the overall record is 106-66-18 (.605).[/q]His record in predictions is certainly a lot better than Jayson Moy and his partner (Becky?) did over a few years.  But keep in mind that there is probably less parity in the league than there was a few years ago.  When everyone is clustered around the middle it'sa lot harder to pick the winners.

Although Jayson Moy and Co. did correctly predict both the outcomes and scores of all four games at the ECACs two years ago.  That was nuts.

Bad Boys Rape Our Young Girls But Violet Gives Willingly

Not very PC but I still remember it even though I forget which bands are the multipliers etc.

[Q]... the "worst" (in terms of word usage) mneumonic device I ever heard ...[/q]

Clearly you never took a neuroscience class.

Need to remember the cranial nerves?

Oh Oh Oh To Touch And Feel A Girls Vagina And Hymen
or
Old Opinions Occlude The Truth About Fucking Virgins Good, Violently And Hard

(I-Olfactory, II-Optic, III-Oculomotor, IV-Trochlear, V-Trigeminal, VI-Abducens, VII-Facial, VIII-Acoustic (aka Vestibulocochlear), IX-Glossophrayngeal, X-Vagus, XI- Accessory, XII-Hypoglossal)

Need to remember which are Sensory, which are motor and which are both?

Some Say Marry Money, But My Brother Says Big Breasts Matter More

Worse yet are the branches of the facial nerve:

Two Zombies (Buggered) My Cornhole

(Temporal, Zygomatic, Buccal, Mandibular, Cervical.)

To survive macronutrient metabolism, I made up made up my own mnemonic for the citric acid cycle:

Can I always sell sex for money, officer?

(cis-aconitate, isocitrate, alpha-ketoglutarate, succinyl-CoA, succinate, fumalate, malate, oxaloacetate)

Finally, we went to High School with a guy named Kevin Puckace so naturally, that resulted in:

Kevin Puckace Chases Old Fat Girl Scouts.

Greg is clearly just jealous of Tom Ridge's Terror Alert Scheme. :-P

In other news, with the best win pct in the country and a 11 game unbeaten streak, it looks like Cornell is about to go Plaid.

Does that make Mike Schafer Lonestar or Yogurt?
