1. I can draw six kinds of dinosaurs without reference well enough that they're recognisable to a two/three year old.

2. Not a thing learned, but a thing relearned: "Ce que l'on conçoit bien s'énonce clairement, / Et les mots pour le dire arrivent aisément." ("What is well understood is explained clearly / And the words to say it come easily.") Thanks, Boileau.*


*He of "Une corneille perchée sur la racine de la bruyère boit l'eau de la fontaine Molière (Corneille, Racine, La Bruyère, Boileau, La Fontaine, Molière)" fame -- funnily enough I can never remember the entirety of this mnemotechnic trick.
