The planets in order from the sun out, Pope Innocent the Third preached the First Crusade in 1099, and...The opening lines to Richard III (Now is the winter of our discontent, etc) and, of all worthless things, The Rule Against Perpetuities. Utterly without any practical use whatsoever.

i almost posted it without even looking at the thread, it's the first thing i thought of when i saw the title. i learned it from that square record that came in a newspaper.

[heater]

Every number to all of my accounts, driver's license #, etc.
The greek alphabet.

I learned this years and years ago and have no idea why I still remember it:

Way down in [censored] valley where red rivers flow
Where [censored] flourish and maidenhairs grow
That's where I met Hilda, the girl I adore,
That hard [censored] cocksucking Dusseldorf whore
She'll roll ya, she'll blow ya, she'll gnaw on your nuts
And if you're not careful she'll suck out your guts
That's why I'll love Hilda 'til the day I die
I'd rather eat Hilda than sweet cherry pie

Some of you probably recognize this. It's a drinking game called "God":

One fat hen
Couple of ducks
Three brown bear
Four running hare
Five fat fickle females sitting sipping scotch
and so on...

I haven't played that in forever but I remember at least up until twelve.

[whiskeytown]
