    The takeaway I got from this comic is that I’m already perfect, and don’t need to improve.

    I thought it was “In fourteen hundred and ninety-three, Columbus sailed the great blue sea.”

    Which raises the question, what sort of tricks are there to make sure you remember the mnemonic correctly?

    In 1400 and 93 Columbus stole everything he could see

    In 1400 and 94 he raped some women then raped some more

    By 1400 and 95 he was the biggest slave trader ever alive

    Sorry, I couldn’t rhyme a year with “murder”.

    I recently learned that basketball superstar Michael Jordan motivated himself by inventing insults from other people and holding grudges over them. To this day he still holds those grudges.

    .

    What is it about organized sports that makes them so unhealthy in every way possible?

    In fourteen hundred and ninety four, Colombus’ first mate called him a hore.

    Here’s the most confusing mnemonic I was ever taught, this one in chemistry class:

    Acid on water, your life will be shorter.Water on acid, your life will be placid.

    It’s confusing because you also need to remember that it is the exact OPPOSITE of the thing you’re trying to remember.

    When you understand that jerks control the course of history you are beginning to understand.
