Has anyone seen my planet?
 
My very easy method just speeds up naming ???

Apparently we now have only eight planets in our solar system. Let the hunt for new memorable phrases commence!

Hammerite 08-24-2006 06:06 AM

Dude, Where's My Planet?

Jatsie 08-24-2006 06:19 AM

It's about time, Pluto was a joke.

Jazhara7 08-24-2006 06:19 AM

Gah, you beat me to it!


Poor Pluto.

Hammerite 08-24-2006 06:19 AM

You're all idiots, Pluto was never a planet...

Spoiler:
it was Mickey Mouse's dog

Hammerite 08-24-2006 06:26 AM

Cool.
What do I get in return for my services?

it better be good

Jazhara7 08-24-2006 06:28 AM

Oh, and the German mnemonic device was one of the best ever, because it actually had some relation to the thing it was intended to help remember:

Mein Vater erklärt mir jeden Sonntag unsere neun Planeten. (In English: My father explains our nine planets to me every Sunday.)

I'm sure it was very "acutal" :P.

Mind you, the English "My very easy method just speeds up naming planets" wasn't bad :D.

That one is good too. I didn't know that one yet. I just read "My Very Excellent Mother Just Sent Us Nine Pizzas", which is way off topic.

I originally learnt "My very energetic maiden aunt just swam under North Pier". Which is really random, even if it does also place the asteroid belt.

Jatsie 08-24-2006 06:35 AM

The only astronomical mnemonic I can remember is:

Oh be a fine girl, kiss me.

ATMachine 08-24-2006 06:37 AM

About time, I say. Ever since astronomers discovered that "dwarf planet" in the Kuiper Belt that's larger than Pluto, I've been looking rather askance at the former ninth planet.

It'll make for an interesting conversation starter with young people when we're old. "When I was a lad there were nine planets in the solar system..." ;)

Hammerite 08-24-2006 06:40 AM

Whoa, I refreshed the page and your avatar is different now, RLacey.
Maybe its the weird psychadelic guitar of the Screaming Trees messing with my brain.

RLacey 08-24-2006 06:41 AM

Yeah. I had originally thought of the Disney character, but your earlier comment gave me an idea.

Hammerite 08-24-2006 06:44 AM

I'm an influence.
Excelsior.

Jelena 08-24-2006 06:48 AM

And here I am wondering why the heck Rob has changed his avatar to a sad looking Pluto.
My brain is r e a l l y s l o w today.

RLacey 08-24-2006 06:49 AM

Can I correct the angry teacher's English instead? :P

pinkgothic 08-24-2006 06:54 AM

Oh, this makes sense, and all, but...

...we now have 4+4+0 planets in the solar system. *state of shock*

Go ahead!

EDIT: I found it.
