Biology - memory device....funny

Here are some mnemonics to help you remember Linnaeus’ Taxonomy:
King Philip Came Over For Ginger Snaps
King Philip Can Order Five Great Specimens
King Philip Can Only Find Green Socks
Keen Paleontologists Can Only Find Good Specimens


[KINGDOM, PHYLUM, CLASS, ORDER, FAMILY, GENUS, SPECIES]


King
Phillip 
Came
Over
For
Grilled
Steak

alternatively,

King
Phillip
Came
Over
For
Great 
Sake

though I find the former more memorable, I enjoy a grilled steak myself.


King 
Phillip
Came 
Over
For 
Great 
Stogies
