No, alas, no relation that I know of, though, as an avid “Mad” magazine reader when I was young, I was very familiar with the work of Jack Rickard.- Tim
In my neurology class, our professor told us about the story of the student who made up a mnemonic for memorizing the names of the cranial nerves. But instead of a mnemonic starting with Olfactory, Optic, Oculomotor, etc., the student made up a mnemonic from First, Second, Third……come to think of it, I think his last name was Rockit….
Trying to think of the mnemonic devices I know. The two that come most readily to mind are Every Good Boy Does Fine, and the word FACE. (Notes on a musical scale) Im sure there are others, just don’t remember them right now..
People are mixing up mnemonics and acronyms though. A mnemonic is a phrase with initials to remind you of something … while an acronym simply uses the actual initials of the “real” words.

Remembering how a system works is more important than remembering what it’s called.

Am I the only one who thinks the perfect voice for Brewster would be that of Patrick Warburton?
