Struggling to break through the language barrier? Maybe we can help. Heard, seen or said something that made you giggle? We'd love to hear about it.

Sorry. What's the point of that order of planets (and a star)?

Santiago, instead of poo-pooing something meant to be light-hearted, come up with something of your own :wink:

When Pluto got "demoted" to being a dwarf planet, some bright spark came up with:

Many Very Educated Men Just Screwed Up Nature

Which gives you the remaining planets in order.
Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus and Neptune

No space for Pluto any more

Pluto has recently been reclassified as a planet.
It must have been very welcome news to all those Plutonians. :lol:

Pluto was re-classified by the IAU as a dwarf planet in 2006 and is now considered alongside Ceres, Eris, Makemake and Haumea (the last two were identified in 2008). Eris actually contains 27% more mass than Pluto. Source: http://www.iau.org/public/themes/pluto/

If you can really be bothered to remember all the planetary bodies in our solar system (dwarf, gas giant or otherwise), there is:

"My Very Excellent Mother Constantly Just Serves Us Nine Pizzas, Hamburgers, Meatballs, and Eggplants."

I'm sure we can manage a better English (UK) version :lol:
