How to remember

I found amazing site called MNEMONICS GUIDE which will help you to remember a lot of common things you always forget!

Like how many days a month has, names of tropics, wonders of world etc. Also many more interesting things. Did you know that:

February has a smaller "leftover" amount of 28 or 29 days because pre-45 B.C. it was the last month of the Roman calendar year which started every March.

Or that weekdays are named after sky objects? SUNday, MOONday, and then 5 bright Roman
planets - Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. This works for French and Spanish while English used the Norse gods/godesses.

The site has amazing stuff, just see it for yourself!
