New Mnemonic



It remains to be seen whether the IAU will vote to add 3 new planets, Ceres, Charon, and 2003 UB313 (knicknamed Xena) to the solar system.

If they do, I have come up with a new mnemonic device to remember them:

Mama
Very
Easily
Made
Crazy
John
Some
Unbelievably
Nutty
Politically
Correct
Xylographs


What do you think? Too political?

thank you. Do you think the main characters are too veiled or too obvious?

Jen said...

I think only space objects that hold intelligent life should be called planets...;)

I love it!
It should be used in schools to help those poor students who have to memorize more than the nine planets we had to during our school years.
My dad and I talked about these new planets just yesterday. I think it is all very interesting.

angel & nanc: ooooh, that's harsh.

spider walk: why, thank you.

marti: heh heh

j.d.: Thanks, but I don't think the liberals would appreciate it
once they figure out who Mama and Crazy John are...

Oooooo, way too political.

What about something chirpy that includes jelly, mud wrestling and ducks, for example?

cube said...

m.c.: thank you.

anonymous: chirpy, huh? I dunno. It's so much more fun to make fun of John Kerry & Teh-ray-zuh (a.k.a Mama T). I'll keep it in mind for
next time.

Jen said...

Lmao, so if we are not designated as a planet then can we be called?

cube said...

angel: I guess we'll have to do away with intelligent life being a prerequisite for planethood.
