My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Nine......what?

Think back to the 2nd grade when it was time to learn the planets. Remember the teacher instructing you to commit that sentence to memory so that you could easily remember: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto? As I went through school I heard SO many variations of that sentence. (i.e. My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Naming Planets) No, just me? Okay.

Either way, astronomers are meeting as we speak to determine whether Pluto even qualifies as a planet anymore. Apparently this debate has been going on for decades.
