I was waiting for Dr. Bill to contribute a mnemonic, but I guess he's hiding. Hoping no one takes offense, there is a famous one used in medical schools to remember the endings of the facial nerve, which goes, "Oh Oh Oh to touch and feel a girl's vagina -- sex hurrah!" My wife, a registered nurse, learned a different one in nursing school which began, "On old Olympus' topmost top (I forget the rest -- it's not as memorable as the boys' version). Dr. Bill can at least tell us what the nerve endings are; I only remember ocular, trigeminal, vagus.

We used to say "On Old Olympus' Towering Tops a Finn and German Viewed Some Hops", but i'm sure i'm mondegreening it.
EDIT: i looked it up, and it's Olfactory, Optic, Oculomotor, Trochlear, Trigeminal, Abducens, Facial, Auditory, Glossopharyngeal, Vagus, Spinal Accessory, Hypoglossal
btw, kev and wow, that's frightening about your inclination toward "thier". i've always had trouble with that very word, and will never forget it b/c i once misspelled it on a sixth grade test. i'll never forget staring in shock at that accursed red mark adulterating my pristine spelling test.... certainly equal in shame and horror to hester's infamous "A".

Perhaps -- in my case -- it's because I am a (very fast) hunt n' peck typist. Don't know about Keven.
wow
