Instead of memorizing them, why don't you look for them in conversations and see if you can match someone's words to one of these ideas? Here's an idea: divide a paper into squares, write the name of your favorite (or most common, like ad hominem, begging the question or ad hoc ergo propter hoc) fallacies in the squares, have a colleague do the same, and play logical fallacy bingo? Hmmm... I may organize a class tournament. Any interest out there?
Hmm i find these interesting.. but hard to memorize..
