I'm trying to remember a list of 8 things, so thought I would try one of those memory devices where you assign them to other things. What has 8 things, I thought? Ah! Henry the eighth, I can assign them to his wives. Of which, it turns out, there are six. And I only know their first names, which would be even more confusing.

So, what has eight things that I would know? Octopus wouldn't work because they're all legs. I could do the rainbow and add octarine? Seven dwarves plus Snow White, except it takes me ages to remember all their names too.
