this was where the problem stemmed from

Technology has obivously moved on a lot since we discovered pluto and other bodies were found past pluto of similar size that on the basis of pluto would have to be called planets.

The fear was that if we kept pluto classed as a planet we would end up adding countless more "planets" to the solar system.

So its was either end up with about 20 planets and more to come or change the rules and lose one.

unfortuantely pluto lost :D

Aww thats a shame!

The kiddies wont be able to do the rhyme no more then, to remember what planets come first.

For those of you who aint a clue what im talking about ->

(M)y = Mercury
(V)ery = Venus
(E)asy = Earth
(M)ethod = Mars
(J)ust = Jupitar
(S)peeds = Saturn
(U)p = Uranus
(N)aming = Neptune
(P)lantes = Pluto

lol suprised i remembered that :wink:
did anyone else learn that in school?

i had: my very elegant mother just serves us nine pies. which, in retrospect is utter gobbledegook. Debz's teachers were more imaginative than mine.

for the new one may i suggest:

making very established meteors jealous seems utter nonsense

in fact that is pretty crap too
:o ops:
