JogLab
helps you create mnemonics (memory-jogs) to remember your stuff. A mnemonic is a
weird and wonderful phrase to aid learning and recall of information. Usually
the first letters of a crazy but memorable phrase created from your imagination
(and with a little help from JogLab.com) match the first letters of each of
keywords that you'd like to remember; the first letters jog your memory for each
of the keywords in turn. An example mnemonic to remember the presidents of the
