Nachos? Nectarines? You've Got To Be Kidding Me!

The article says: "According to the new definition, a full-fledged planet is an object that orbits the sun and is large enough to have become round due to the force of its own gravity. In addition, a planet has to dominate the neighborhood around its orbit. Pluto has been demoted because it does not dominate its neighborhood."

Bull. Pluto has been a planet my entire life. I refuse to let it go. My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas was the way I memorized the planets. Everyone had something similar to this to remember Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus (giggle), Neptune and PLUTO!
Now, My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Nine... Nine WHAT?! The sentence no longer makes sense!
The only way the sentence could make sense is to change "Nine" to some other food. But, what food begins with "N?" All I could come up with is Nectarines. However, that's too obscure to remember.

So, to make all things right with the world, bring Pluto back, you eggheads! You are turning my world upside down!

Fun Pluto facts that will be lost within a generation or so: Pluto was discovered at Lowell University in Arizona in 1930. This was a year after Chicago's Adler Planetarium opened it's doors. On it's main door, the planetarium has the symbols for the first 8 planets, but not Pluto's because of it's late discovery. It has always remained that way and thus will make it convenient to remove Pluto from everyone's memory. Bastards.
