Uh, Bill H., there's no such word as "seldomly" -- "seldom" is an adverb all by itself, thank you very much!

On old Olympus' towering top, a fat-assed German vaults and hops.

That's for the cranial nerves: Olfactory, Optic, Oculomotor, Trochlear, Trigeminal, Abducens, Facial, Acoustic, Glossopharyngeal, Vagus, Accessory, Hypoglossal.

(If you want to call the XI nerve "Spinal accessory" then it's "viewed some hops." And if you want to make it suitable for younguns, then you say a fat-"eared" German, and remember "eared" stands for the acoustic--or auditory--nerve.)

There was another one for the cranial nerves, but this is a PG-13 rated site.

Never lower Tillie's pants; Grandma might come home.
That's the 8 bones of the wrist: navicular, lunate, triquetral, pisiform, Greater multangular, lesser Multangular, capitate, hamate.
