Post Pluto Punch-out, New Mnemonic Needed

As you may have heard, the International Astronomical Union has decided that Pluto is no longer a planet, but a "dwarf" planet. Basically, this means Pluto is just the first of all the Trans-Neptunian Objects that don't quite make the grade for full planet-hood.

What does this mean for you and me? It means "My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas" is now worthless.

I would like to propose a new mnemonic device: "My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Noodles"

Yes, I know, it's brilliant. You can thank me later.
