Making people and ideas findable
My Very Educated Mother Just Studies Used News-Papers.
A witty mnemonic is a useful tool for remembering helpful information, like the names of the planets in order (since Pluto’s demotion, you must drop ”papers”).
Over 10 years ago a technician shared a bawdy mnemonic to help me remember the OSI Model-- “Princess Diana Never Tried Screwing Prince Andrew.” Each word's first letter corresponds to the seven layers between Internet users: Physical, Data link, Network, Transport, Session, Presentation, and Application. I will never forget the seven layers thanks to this socially-unacceptable mnemonic. Voltaire said, “A witty saying proves nothing,” but witty sayings can help you remember raw data, and even important life-truths.
Do you have a favorite mnemonic? Any geeks out there with a different OSI mnemonic?

I always learned it as "My very educated mother just served us nine pizza-pies". I guess now she just served us "noodles"?
