From Chemistry classes I remember: LEO ROaRs GER!!! (Loss of electrons is oxidation, reduction on RHS of equn, gain of electrons is reduction) My favourites are: Polythene and positive both begin with PO and it's WRONG!!! (Polythene charges negatively) and, along the same lines, when the moon is a C it's crescendo and when it's a D it's diminuendo but it's the other way round. (In the Southern Hemisphere anyhow...) Thern there's the carpal bones - Seedy Lords Can't Pee Their Thin Muddy Urine. Darned if I can remember what they stand for though!!! Kate Jeffery Dept. of Pharmacology, Univeristy of Edinburgh
