I had never actually heard of the King Henry one, but that’s because my mind was jammed with the “Every Good Boy Does Fine” one.

Also, the “F**** Eggs” one, mostly because it was super fun in high school to remember the periodic table through curse words.

friday, i was weighing out a compound and was verifying with doc the correct weight. it was the end of a very long day and he paused, trying to figure out if i did have the right weight. i say, ‘well, king henry died monday drinking chocolate milk, so it should be right, right?’

his response, ‘who did what and when now?’ and i had to explain the mnemonic. seriously, who has never heard king henry died monday drinking chocolate milk?

(turns out i was off by 10x, anyway)

Ummm… am I missing something here? I’ve never heard it before but shouldn’t the first mnemonic include a word beginning with s rather than b. Unless one of the planets has changed its name while I was asleep, of course.
