Vic, is that first ornament supposed to be Mercury or the sun? If it is the sun, it is way too small. If it is mercury then that means the last one is Pluto. Sorry Ulibelle and Rob, but that one has to go!


They are working on defining Pluto as a planet once again.

Where do I sign up? :)

I forget if it is at Jupiter or Saturn. One of its moons is bigger than Mercury.

That famous fourth grade mnemonic device:

My (Mercury)
Very (Venus)
Earnest (Earth)
Mother (Mars)
Just (Jupiter)
Served (Saturn)
Us (Uranus)
Nine (Neptune)
Peanuts (Pluto)

... is easily changed to "My very earnest mother just served us noodles."

Which is just as easily changed to "My very earnest mother just served us noodles on a plate".


On = Oort Cloud???
A = Asteroid Belt???
Plate = Plutoid sized bodies in the Kuiper Belt???

My Junior High School music teacher chose this piece for our choral group to perform at a holiday concert back in the mid-70's. Since then I have numbered it amongst my favorite Christmas carols.

The ideal one to teach an electronics class of mostly horny teenage boys -
Bad boys rap our young girls but violet gives willingly.

This was in the early 70's in high school and college. It those days it was shocking enough but I suspect the military had something much wilder.
