Mnemonics

[AliasAggers]

Here's something to get you thinking.

I remember, when I was a very young man, using the following mnemonics (memory aids).
I haven't heard them since. Do you know , or can you guess, their purpose?

(1) Pigs Have Big Heads Poor Brutes

(2) God Destroys All Earth By Fire, Cricky!

.

[miasmum]

Aggers I have no idea on those, I only know these two

My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Naming Planets (which no longer works since they declassified Pluto)

Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain

[Diflower]

I have no idea either, unless no. 2 is to do with music?

Don't think I know any apart from Richard like Mm...

[meriad]

don't know any of them and struggling to name the planets in the right order

[AliasAggers]

I have no idea either, unless no. 2 is to do with music?...

Yes, it is !

[JoM]

Apart from the Richard of York one, the only one I remember from school is

Every good boy deserves football

[Diflower]

I have no idea either, unless no. 2 is to do with music?...

Yes, it is !

Is it notes on a stave then? - awful long time since I read any music!

[AliasAggers]

It's related to the number of sharps in a scale.
1 sharp is in the key of G
2 sharps.........D
3 sharps is......A and so on.

Apart from the Richard of York one, the only one I remember from school is

Every good boy deserves football

Oh I learnt that one as Every Good Boy Deserves Favour

And the other stave one was F A C E
