Anyone else have to learn it for school?

I was required to learn it and recite it in front of my 4th grade class, and I still remember it to this day.

If not If, what? Do you remember anything else you were required to memorize for school?

Settle down ya perverts! It's just my high school locker combination!

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

I believe this was geometry... or trig... one of those math classes... and my teacher used to chant it as if it were a native american tribal call.

sine = opposite/hypotnuse

cosine = adjacent/hypotnuse

tangent = opposite/adjacent

Ah yes...Algebra! I absolutely loved Algebra & Trig.


Tutoring Mrs. WI in it, however, was not fun! ha ha

"Death of the Hired Man" by Robert Frost. That was for the state speech competition I want to say my sophomore year of H.S.

About the only other thing that comes to mind is: "The sum of the square of the two sides equals the square of the hypotenuse." The only reason that sticks in my mind is because one of my friends couldn't figure out the Pythagorean theorem to save his life and our geometry teacher made us recite the damn thing over and over. Took us a damn week before she just gave up and let me tutor him for the semester.
