Is there an easy way to tell Shiites from Sunnis? And whatever the difference between them is?

It is like trying to recall the difference between an arc-cosecant and a reverse parallelogram, my simple mind just melts.

To make a Christian analogy, their difference is over who should be the legitimate heir to Jesus: his nephew(Shiite) or a Roman Emperor(Sunni.)
