I usually just ignore the "D" at the beginning and just remember that it starts with Domain :P

@YeahIAm King Phillip Came Over For Grape Soda - Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species

The original was King Phillip came over for great sex, but they added domain. Now it's DAMN! King Phillip came over for great sex.

Roy G. Biv

@Jules Roy G. Biv

I remember looking at the rainbow when I was like eight and saying "whoa, if you take the first letter of each color you get some guy names Roy G. Biv!" Then I told others and figured out that the device already existed and I wasn't special.

The quadratic formula I've heard "a negative boy couldn't decide whether or not to go to a radical party. He decided to be square and missed out on four awesome chicks. But it was okay because it was all over by 2 am"

I wasn't there the day they taught the quadratic formula, and that little story right there was the only reason I passed the test.

HaHaSkr3wit that's for Treble Clef lines. For Treble Clef spaces I've heard FACE. For guitar strings my favorite is (going from the smallest string) Easter Bunny Gets Drunk At Easter

Dude Kick Percy's Chickens Off Fred and George's Shoes for Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, etc.
Ginny Weasley Says Percy Eagerly Goes Last was the Seven Deadly Sins
Evil Men Bang At Harry was the layers of the ocean, which I don't even remember anymore
And something about kicking Percy under a cabinet was the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Yeah, I was a really dumb kid...but they worked, I guess.

Also, FACE for the treble clef spaces, and All Cows Eat Grass for the bass clef spaces.
Then there was BEAD Greatest Common Factor for the flat key signatures, and I made up First Class Girls Don't Always Eat Breakfast for the sharp key signatures.

I know, Ram, it's literally one of the most unintelligent updates to anything I've seen. It's a straight up downgrade.

God, I hate how if someone replies to anyone's comment everyone in the subthread gets a notification.

Well actually that you can't reply to a particular comment.

@Emperorerror How? And also, how do you see who's favorited or up/downvoted a comment?

at the bottom you should be able to say don't notify me of new comments. and for the secon part, put your mouse over the number (not the arrow)

My teacher just told us "HOFBrINCl"... pronounced Hoff-brink-ull....it actually works really well.

@1724403

We learned that too, but as HONClBRIF- pronounced "Honn-kull-brief" instead
