Planetary Mnemonic Update

On August 21, 2006, in Culture, by peterb

Since they’re changing the rules on me, I need a new mnemonic to remember the names of the planets. This one is mine and mine alone.

“My Very Earnest Mother, Camille, Just Served Us Nine Pickles (Cornichons, eXactly).”

(Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Charon, Xena)

    …And if they don’t keep the name “Xena”? They keep threatening to change it on us.

    Today there are only 8 planets.

    Who knows what tomorrow will hold?
