My Very Entertaining Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizza pies

Oh Pluto, I miss you.

Four years ago today, the International Astronomical Union redefined the term "planet", and consequently booted Pluto out of the Solar System. Now it's been demoted to a humble "dwarf planet". Poor Pluto.

School children around the English-speaking world revolted! How could they accept this new view of the Solar System, one devoid of delicious pizza pies? Clearly they needed a new mnemonic to commit the order of planets to memory. What did they come up with?

It doesn't have the same ring to it, does it....



Last night I devoured a swiss brown mushroom laden pizza at Good Life in Pluto's honour.

    Ohoho, nice pun :)

    And I'll use this as an opportunity to shamelessly plug my blogpost on the subject (and you'll use it as an opportunity to keep on reading French texts).
