I still remember this one via the children's rhyme.

Thirty days have September, April, June, and November. All the rest have thirty one, except for February alone, which has twenty eight days clear, except for every leap year.

I used to try to remember it this way, except that the rhyming parts don't actually cue the important info, so I was always "30 days have September, April,.... um.... something, and... December? November? Something like that." So I use the knuckle trick instead.

I also never learned the last part of the rhyme, it was taught to me as "...except for February, which is all kinds of messed up."
