    Mnemonics are useful for remembering stuff. (Shocking revelation, I know.) I barely know anything about history for example. But I remember “333 - Issos Keilerei”, rhymes on German and means “333 - Issos Brawl”. I didn’t even remember what this was about until I looked it up just now on Wikipedia.

    The Battle of Issus (also Issos) occurred in southern Anatolia, on 5 November 333 BC between the Hellenic League led by Alexander the Great and the Achaemenid Empire, led by Darius III.

    But hey, I remembered this. My history teacher back in school did something right.

    And now I know some critter stuff. Thanks!

    Pill bugs are isopods right? They have a more hotdog-esque shape though.

      Where’s the abstract? I’m not reading this whole comment without knowing what it’s about first

        Here is the about section:

        “The More You Know”[1] is a series of public service announcements that has been running on NBC Universal programming in the United States since September 1989. Each clip typically begin with an educational message from a celebrity and conclude with an animated sequence of a comet trail created by Paul Johnson. Being one of the longest-running network public service campaigns to date, the PSA series has been widely parodied both online and in popular culture.
