Weird Things You've Had to Memorize

[Savikins]

And how you've decided to memorize them!

In 5th grade I had to come up with a way to memorize the stages of coal formation (Peat, Lignite. bitumen and anthracite). I came up with something rather innappropriate, but the teacher actually laughed, and all my friends who were in that class got to question about the coal stages right on their tests, and the ones I still talk to still remember it. (Pete licks bob's a**)

I also have to memorize how to spell pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis in 5th grade for the second week's spelling test. I kid you not xD I forget how I memorized. But I did it.

What about you guys?

One time I had to memorize 15 lines of shakespeare for English 1. It was from Romeo and Juliet. It had to be word for word as an assignment. It was the most worthless thing I've ever had to do for school.

Didn't have to memorize it, but I can say the alphabet backwards as well as type a few useless words.

I've had to memorize a lot, but I think the most useless thing would be the Greek alphabet.

[DramaQueen]

loads and loads and loads of scripts/lines for various productions
lots of shakespeare as well
lots of specific stuff for french like which verbs are conjugated with etre in passe compose (dr & mrs vandertramp anyone?), which adjectives come before/after nouns, which nouns are masc/fem. it's a lot to remember and i still forget sometimes lol.
probably lots of stuff from elementary school that i don't remember anymore.

I've memorized sooo many lines over the years. I'm pretty good/fast at it too. My dad gets on my case a lot because he wonders how I memorize stuff for plays so fast and it takes me forever to memorize stuff for school.
The weirdest thing I ever had to memorize was SOHCAHTOA for trig in math class, which everyone pronounces like suck-a-toe-a. It stands for sine (opposite over hypotenuse) cosine (adjacent over hypotenuse) and tangent (opposite over adjacent) I've had it memorized since freshman year, and I'm a senior now. It's still really helpful on tests.

I had to memorize that too, in like 8th grade, and now (I'm a sophomore) I still remember it whenever I do trig.
