“Pluto isn’t a planet”

One of the greatest mnemonic aids EVAR has now been rendered ineffectual by learned astronomers.

Many
Very
Excited
Monkeys
Jumping
Screaming
Under
Noxious
Poop

This gem came from the resourceful mind of my friend Tiffany; my children were delighted.  I think she’s a genius elementary educator.

For clarification, Pluto has been declassified as a planet, it’s now a “dwarf planet.”  A mnemonic device assists in memorization, and the bit about the monkeys served that purpose by putting the first letter of each planet in their order by distance from the sun.  And now the astronomers have ruined it.
