from today's globe and mail "social studies" (yes i did type it out):


"This month, a group of schoolchildren in Liverpool, England, helped foil an attempted armoured-van robbery by memorizing the getaway car’s registration plate in a schoolyard chant, police report. A passerby spotted the car, but feared she would forget the plate number so she asked a group of children to memorize it. The group of 9- and 10-year-olds remembered the registration details by singing the numbers in a chant, before a classmate arrived with a pen. The three thieves were traced and arrested within 40 minutes."
