I use acrostics based on prayers or poems for my passwords, you don't 
get numbers or special characters (unless you go 1337 :)) and they can 
get to be quite long but easy to remember, you can recite the parrot 
sketch can't you.For this purpose I learnt a couple of ***** prayers. I 
have however come unstuck once when using a quote from a speech by 
Winston Churchill.

Oh and a copy of pi to 2 million places is also quite useful.
