20.9 - Moderator's Pet - Sarah E's Task: Most Volcanoes

Most Volcanoes Erupt Mulberry Jam Sandwiches Under Normal Pressure
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto

This mnemonic for the planets of the solar system is one I have known since childhood, passed down by my space-loving Dad. Even though Pluto has now been downgraded, I'm sticking with it.

Read a book with a word in the title or subtitle that matches either a word from the mnemonic or the name of a planet in our solar system. For the purposes of this task that includes Pluto (Pressure). Singular or plural variations are allowed as are possessives, but no others.

I have never heard this one for the planets : )

The one for the planets that I remember is:
My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas.

Great task!!!

Thanks! I can't imagine this version has much traction outside the UK, and is probably not current either. But the imagery makes it very memorable for me, which is the whole point of a mnemonic. :)

My husband uses (without Pluto):
"Mother visits every Monday, just stays until noon"

Thank you everyone, it is so interesting to see just how many different versions there are. :)
