I am looking for an acronym to remember the 12 cranial nerves.
Help will be appreciated

Warning: Some of these are PG-13, but I got them from Wikipedia!! The last one is great.

-Oliver the optimistic octopus trots triumphantly about facing audiances glossily vaguely spinning hippos.
(Note that the accessory nerve is referred to by its alternate name Spinal accessory nerve, and the Vestibulocochlear nerve by its former name, Auditory, in this mnemonic.)

-On Old Olympus' Towering Top A Fin And German Viewed Some Hops (I learned this one as 'vended some hops')
(Note that the accessory nerve is referred to by its alternate name Spinal accessory nerve, and the Vestibulocochlear nerve by its former name, Auditory, in this mnemonic.)

-Ooh, Ooh, Ooh To Touch And Feel Very Good Velvet. Such Heaven!
(Note that the accessory nerve is referred to by its alternate name Spinal accessory nerve in this mnemonic.)

-Oh Once One Takes The Anatomy Final Very Good Vacations Are Heavenly

Another to help remember the types of information these nerves carry (sensory, motor, or both) is thus: Some Say Marry Money, But My Brother Says Big Brains Matter More.

Thanks
