Ok, here is my list of words :

- Nmemotecnie : Inspired in a Greek muse
- Babylon Brick: Where the first records we're kept. Sounds good.
And it's related with good thing:space travels,... Boney-M (
By the river of babylons...)... 
- Salustianum : It may render some problems, ...Salustius was
a Roman historian.
- Fahrenheit 123: Fahrenheit 457 is that sci-fi where book are forbidden,
and firemen burn books, people watch TV. I'm sure "students"
appreciate the joke of firing books, and many would read the book.
 Sounds good.
- Kids Alamos lib: Well, a bit nationalistic, but easy to remember.
Good acronym :KAL (which is not any terrorist group I can think of).
- Cetereor Censeo, memoranda est: CCME (spell it like sisi me).
Double sense with CC (carbon copy me, that is,  keep track of me).
 Adaptation from 
Cetereor Censeo, Cartaghinem delendam est(Cato), IMO, Cartago
should be destroyed. IMO it must be remembered. It's very good, I know.
- Atenea's interested learning all your life. Spell it
as AI-LEARN-ALL.
-Not gone with the wind. NGWW. Sounds like a Radio station. Joke
with the film. And obvioulsy makes sense.

I'll spare you more of my hallucinations.
