Mnemonics are memory devices we use to make facts or processes stick in our long term mental storage.  They can be quite useful, and yes, sometimes fun. (One of my favorites is one I created myself: The formal Korean greeting is “ahnyong hashumnika.” I was able to memorize the expression with the silly English phrase “onions on your sneakers.” Silly, but effective.) I found a great site full of mnemonic devices for many areas of knowledge. Check out the site here. I think you’ll find it useful.

Believe me, his list is not for the faint of heart (because of its magnitude), but if you’re looking for a comprehensive list of Larry’s “Best of” in education, you need to check him out. I’m beginning to trudge my way through categories of interest. Wish me luck!
