Poor planet, we should create the "Support Pluto as a planet club" !

I'm surprised it hasn't been seen as discrimination against Muslims

Poor Pluto...

Zogger · 23 Jul 2008 at 17:02

well no, supposedly muslims don't like dogs and pluto is a dog...

in-fact all the other planets are named after gods while pluto is a dog, therefore pluto must be the opposite of a planet.

okay pluto is a god as well but don't let that spoil it

Whats going to happen to "my very easy method just speeds up naming planets"?

It seems stupid now that Nasa have sent a mission up to a rock on the outskirts of the solar system. I think it's called pluto or something.

Lol I remember that awful 1970 Sci fi film, where everything was in mirror on the other planet.

yeah, I remember that:

(Doppelgänger) Journey to the Far Side of the Sun

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064519

Wasn't that bad, apart from the extremely long, trippy space sequence.

I was always taught that Pluto was a planet, damn the English educational system

Now that there are only eight of them, kids will find it much easier to just remember their names

Well it was up until about two years ago when it got reclassified. Or are you blaming them for not being far sighted enough to realise that at some point in the future that status would change?

Ha Ha bet pluto feels well imbarassed.

His manhood being robbed from him like that

milkinc13 · 24 Jul 2008 at 12:02

wonder how many text books now say it's 8, as i can't see it being that manyas reclassification was a couple of years ago

I propose the following mnemonic...

More Vigilant Evaluation Method Justifies Solar-System Under Numbering

Unfortunately it's a bit of a mouthful and hyphenation in these circumstances is prone to lead to confusion. That being the case I'm sad to say that My Very Easy Method Just Screwed Up.

Why not just change it to "...Just Screws Up Now" and you've still got all the planets initials in there? Saves having to alter too much.

I used to recall them by the rhyme:

Many Very Early Men Just Sat Under Nine Planets. Thats rather mucked up too.

Oops that was my intention, looks like I got carried away and demoted Neptune.
