Well there's a childhood mnemonic shot to hell.
"Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune Pluto" = "My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Nine . . ." Nine what? This just will not do!

Actually, Keeper heard that they're (astronomers?) saying that there's now 16 planets? Or was it 14? Anyway, apparently they're counting a couple of moons and asteroids as planets now.

That was last week, and it was 12. So they got to talkin', and now have decided it's eight, and Pluto gets the booto.

You know, I actually thought of Pluto the DOG first, because just before I saw this post, I was looking at a Goofy pin. Heh. It doesn't help that Superman died in that one comic book when I was a kid. Because of that I started thinking all cartoon characters can die.
