Very scientific.

Both are delicious
Mnemonics are useful for remembering stuff. (Shocking revelation, I know.) I barely know anything about history for example. But I remember "333 - Issos Keilerei", rhymes on German and means "333 - Issos Brawl". I didn't even remember what this was about until I looked it up just now on Wikipedia.
The Battle of Issus (also Issos) occurred in southern Anatolia, on 5 November 333 BC between the Hellenic League led by Alexander the Great and the Achaemenid Empire, led by Darius III.

But hey, I remembered this. My history teacher back in school did something right.
And now I know some critter stuff. Thanks!
Is that knowledge useful in any way? Knowing a fight happened specifically in issos and specifically in 333 doesn't even help with historical context.
It taught the value of mnemonics. :D
No, I don't think it was or is particularly useful, besides things like "brain fitness". It might have helped me back then to get a better grade, though. (Yes, we see now again how useless it is in many cases to memorize stuff for school/uni/whatever.)
So shrimp are just sea hot dogs. Got it.
Shrimps is bugs.
Hot bugs. Got it.
No, wait, don't got it - is it bug dogs??
Bugwurst
Is an amphipod a sandwich?
Is chitinous exoskeleton a type of bread?
Pill bugs are isopods right? They have a more hotdog-esque shape though.
up close they are hamburger
