(Ramblings) As Seen Somewhere

1 little, 2 little, 3 little endian
3 big, 2 big, 1 big endian

I spotted that the other day and it amused me. I don't know what's sadder though: the fact that I get that or the fact that I'm wondering what it would be for middle endian

The problem I have with pnemonics like that is that they are easy to confuse.  For instance,

3 little, 2 little, 1 little endian
1 big, 2 big, 3 big endian

is just as easy to remember as the real version.

Although my real beef is with the rhyme:

Liquor before beer, you're in the clear.
Beer before liquor, never been sicker.

which I always confuse with:

Liquor after beer, you're in the clear.
Beer after liquor, never been sicker.

I always use:

Liquor, beer, never fear.
Beer, liquor, never sicker.

Well, I would if I drank beer, or even just drank more often period.

I usually mix and match with reckless abandon.

And I rarely get sick.  Unless I decide pizza should be a part of the above.  Or, its a whiskey and coffee party....

Over the lips, and through the gums
Look out stomach, here it comes
