Listy Lists

The Eric thing has taken a weird turn. More later.

Right now I need to get to bed.

Not much in a writey mood.

So let's do this instead:



Listy Things I can list from memory:

50 (nifty united) states

All the US presidents

Colors of the rainbow

Planets (and pluto)

Probably anything listy Star Wars related

All 7 Harry Potter books (and various listy things contained therein; i.e.: DADA professors, Horcruxes, weasley children, etc etc etc)

Continents

Great Lakes

U2 albums

The 7 Dwarves (harder than you'd think... try it... don't cheat!)

The seven deadly sins

The major american armed conflicts

The gospel writers

The ten commandments (usually...)

The members of the Brady bunch

The Von Trapp Children

the signs of the zodiac

sol fege (do, re, mi)

The helping verbs



Listy Things I would like to be able to list from memory(and endeavor to learn sooooon):

State Capitals (i now know them, but haven't got a handy way to recite them.)

Kings & Queens of England (I was working on that and almost had it a couple summers back... maybe I'll dust off the ole list and try it again.)

Countries of the world

Shakespeare's Plays

Musicals by prolific composers

The circles of hell according to Dante

All the major religions

The provinces of canada (and the capitals)

The first ladies (I know many of these)

The vice presidents

countries in the EU



Listy things I am less interested in being able to list, but would likely come in handy on Jeopardy or in a trivia competition:

Sports teams & mascots

Books of the bible

The twelve apostles

the periodic table of the elements\ at least the noble gasses

Every Academy award Best Picture winner
(or any major category, really...)

The supreme court judges

Civil war battles\civil war generals\anything fucking civil war related...

The ships bombed in pearl harbor

The fibonacci sequence



Ok, that was a bit like counting sheep, so off to bed with me. I'm sure I'll think of more for each category! Any suggestions? I love learning listy factoids. Especially If i can figure out how to set them to a catchy tune!
