Pluto is no longer a planet!

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/content/article/2006/08/24/pluto935.html

Basically, scientists in the 1930s were dumb and decided to name that little ball of ice that was way too far away, had a weird orbit, was too small, and had too much space "junk" around it, a planet. They were so excited to find a new planet in our solar system.

Today, scientists say: JOKE'S ON THEM

So, now we have to come up with a new mnemonic, as My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Nine Pickles doesn't work anymore.

Post yours below.

oh snap!

Instead, it will be reclassified in a new category of "dwarf planets," similar to what long have been termed "minor planets."

what are they trying to say, dwarfs and minors aren't planets? Maybe next they will say dwarfs and minors aren't PEOPLE.

OH SNAP!!
