They voted Pluto out?? NOT COOL, MAN. NOT COOL. Pluto was always my favorite planet. Like, for reals.

I was pretty surprised when I heard about this. Don't they know it is going to cost schools millions to change the cool picture of the nine planets to eight plants and some dwarf knockoff? Then again, I bet school would still use those books for 10 years.

Ohh so this is all a major conspiracy involving the science textbook/poster people.

Ohh so this is all a major conspiracy involving the science textbook/poster people. Don't forget those people that make the glow in the dark planets and stars... |

I still remember Saved by the Bell teaching me to remember the order of the planets using "MVEMJSUNP" (me-vehn-se-nup).
MVEMJSUN just doesn't have that same kind of ring to it... sigh...

Your right, it needs that P to give a good ending to it. N just doesn't work, the P gives it closure.

Okay, so here's today's challenge. What's the new saying we'll create to remember the order of the planets, now that Pluto has been brutally rebuffed?
