Albert Memory Help to make a list of famous people/characters with certain initials?
The Dominic system is a memory system in which you associate numbers with people/ fictional characters, it is used by quite a few memory champions and you need to create a list of famous people/fictional characters with certain initials. You need to have people/characters that are highly recognizable.
e.g. For AE - Albert Einstein, AS - Anakin Skywalker and HS - Homer Simpson.

Albert, prince consort to Queen Victoria and social and cultural visionary in his own right, defined the culture and direction of nineteenth century Britain--a superpower at the zenith of its influence--more than any other British royal or politician. Although he pleaded with his wife that no monument to his memory should be left (a plea that was to go unheeded by his grieving widow), the role he played in shaping Victorian culture stands today as indisputable proof of the enduring legacy of a man who spent just two decades of his short life in England.  Though overshadowed in history by his adoring wife and at times even mocked by her subjects, it was arguably Albert who gave form and substance to the Victorian Age. From the outset, he strove to win "the respect, the love and the confidence of the Queen and of the nation," pursuing an extraordinary social and cultural crusade that has become his greatest legacy. From the Great Exhibition and the construction of many of London`s great museums to his social campaigns against slavery and the Corn Laws, Albert`s achievements were truly remarkable--in fact, very few have made such a permanent mark on British society.
Every morning a man named Albert wakes up and sticks his hand out his bedroom window to determine the weather and every morning he decides that it's either too cold, too damp, or too breezy to go outside. Then one day, as his hand is sticking out the window, a pair of birds build a nest on it and lays eggs. Unwilling to hurt the eggs, Albert keeps his hand out the window and holds the nest. As Albert guards the eggs, and later the newborn birds, he discovers that, just like the baby birds, he wants to spread his wings and explore the world. Colored pencil illustrations accompany the text. Selected by the New York Times Book Review as one of the Best Illustrated Children's Books of 2001.
Trillions of years have passed since the Mooroo race burst forth from the pairing of two alien creatures. For eons, the Mooroos have reigned over many territories, fulfilling their unquenchable desire to preserve the species. The instinct to flourish burns in Soomooroo and Moochoomoo, longtime companions who live on Voormoo, their celestial home. When Soomooroo wins the deed to a large galaxy in an ancient card game, the pair launches a scouting expedition to explore every expanse of the boundless universe. In the process, they encounter a range of alien species, including the Swoomoows, the Nogonogs, and the Yellow Dog of Heuweltjies Plateau, some of which are peaceful, others unwelcoming. They also seek out Goddoo, the creator of all, to stand in his presence and thank him for bringing forth light across the great void of darkness. Most importantly, Soomooroo ensures the Mooroovian race will live on through his son, the first Mooroovian to inherit eternal life and race memory, ensuring everlasting existence. Science fiction devotees, especially fans of the Klingon language developed for Star Trek: The Motion Picture, will want to start The Mooroos with its extensive glossary of alien terms to appreciate this hightech, science fiction adventure.
