Take the capital B from Dromedary and turn it 90 degrees to anticlockwise. It has one hump. Take the capital B from Bactrian and turn it similarly. It has two humps.
And I know if I had read the rest of the thread I would have found that someone else already answered it .

the capital B from Dromedaryand more accurately, at that. We all knew that TEd has a way with words, now we find out he has a way with letters, too.

OK, I finally remembered one that hasn't been posted yet.
To the tune of Pop Goes the Weasel
"X" equals negative "b"
plus or minus square root
"b" squared minus 4 "a" "c"
all over 2 "a".
This, of course, is the formula for the quadratic equation, taught to me by my AP Calculus teacher last year.

I finally remembered one
Great mnemonic if you have to work to remember it.* And it doesn't scan too well, does it? I still haven't quite fit it to the music.
*Course I had to work back from the square root of 6 to get Rare Bee instead of the Busy Bee that I had remembered and this with the stupid Mac calculator what I couldn't figure out how to put it in scientific mode.

I forgot one too.. even though i have been using it of late..how to treat an injury -- that hasn't broken the skin..
Rest
Ice
Ccompression
Elevation.
and as for some one who has passed out..
If the face is pale, raise the tail.
If the face is red, raise the head...
and one i only half remember.. one of the latin experts will have to fix it--the four signs of infection
Cholar (redness)
Molar (swelling)
Dolar (Pain)
Solar (Heat--fever).
Molar and solar are right.. since they came into english unchanged.. is it color (as in colorado-- the red river?) or colar..?

I still haven't quite fit it to the music. I with you, Faldage.
"X" equals negative "b" It seems to be missing the first two "pick-up" notes... if you catch my *drift.
"b" squared minus 4 "a" "c"... I got rhythm I... got rhythm I got... rhythm who could ask...etc. I can't even *make it fit...
All Cows Eat Grass (bass clef spaces)
Good Boys Do Fine Always (bass clef lines)

After screwing up one post here already, I hesitate to continue.
When I was a young kid taking first aid, we learned that PAIL described the four types of wounds, puncture, abrasion, incision, and laceration.
And one I have never forgotten, though I learned it from a children's book half a century ago, is how to spell it separate rather than seperate: there's a rat in separate. I have no idea why this particular story had such an impression on me, but I can still remember the entire plot of this book!
And Faldage's mnemonic is driving me crazy. At first I thought it might have something to do with the symbols for the elements, but two hours of sweating over it left me with zilch.
