I just realized .. thats a TV behind him ,, lol

[immoley]

the one I learned in school is Many Vampires eat marshmallow jelly sandwiches under nine plates.

marshmallow has "mars" right there at the beginning, so as not to confuse the two m planets.

[McPrfctday]

In England 30 years ago it was "Mr Vale Eats Many Jam Sandwiches Under Newhaven Pier"... Now it's just "under Newhaven" :-OOO

LIKE CHRIS CROCKER MIGHT SAY "LEAVE( PLUTO) ALONEEEEEE" LEAVE IT ALONE"" WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AA

[PlayT0E]

If Stephen Colbert Can't Remember All the Planets

Then how will he ever learn the names of the several thousand Plutoids? (bodies like Pluto in a similar orbit to Pluto, some of which are larger than Pluto).

How about this:

"Many Volatile Expositors Might Just Shut Up Now"

:)

[CluebotUK]

Wow, such an incredibly dumb objection. Think of a new mnemonic if it bothers you that much.

Understanding why the new categorisation is better is a lot more important than remembering the names anyway...

[ChaoticHypothesis]

You do know he's a comedian...right?

[CluebotUK]

ChaoticHypothesis:

You do know some people do not live in America or watch its TV channels, right? Apparently, Poe's Law is still axiomatic.

Yes, I knew once I looked him up, shortly after posting those remarks (which still apply regardless). Would you rather I delete the comment? Nobody else has made the point in the second paragraph. I dont see you offering another mnemonic either...

[ChaoticHypothesis]

I apologize for attempting to clear up a misunderstanding you seemed to have. Would you rather I had let you remain ignorant of the video' context?

[CluebotUK]

Thanks CH - but as Ive already stated, your efforts were redundant by the time you made them.

Regarding your question, Ive no objection to factual corrections - though not if theyre in the snide manner of a wannabe smartarse. I also find Americans who forget other countries exist objectionable. Thats off-topic in this forum though.

I suggested earlier that this effort might be better spent raising awareness of how and why planets were re-categorised. What do you think about that, CH?

[ChaoticHypothesis]

A desire to understand the reasoning behind the reclassification of Pluto is, unfortunately, beyond most American's interest. Regardless I personally find it quite interesting and a very good example of how the scientific community is constantly updating it's own ideas. Again i apologize for my apparently snide remarks but I am quite worried that you may be taking all this a little to seriously. It is a youtube comment section after all. Cheers.

lame jokes

[AtSwimTwoBricks]

I think Colbert came up with this new one:
