中 = 丨 + 口 : Mnemonic symbol: a dart board, because you always try to hit the center.

Julian Giant Squid (zhu-) is throwing dinosaur bones (丨) as darts on a dart board in front of the engine ((e)ng1). To make it a bit more difficult he's throwing mandarins (口) into the air as well and skewers them up right in the center (中 is a mandarin skewered on a dinosaur bone) in mid flight with the dinosaur bones. He's still able to consistently hit the center (中) of the dart board.

法 = 去 + 氵 : Mnemonic symbol: A lawyer's wig.

法 = 去 + 氵 : Frankenstein's monster locked himself to a concrete barrel during a demonstration in the ashram, but now he's in a really unpleasant situation: the lawyer's wig he put on slipped on his face and his bottle of water rolled away, but he can't change any of it since he locked his arms into the concrete barrel.
