英語版惑星

日本で惑星の配列を覚えるときは、「すいきんちかもくどってんかいめい」と呪文をつぶやくことになっている。アメリカでは。。。。?ティラノがぶつぶつとつぶやいていたのは、

"My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizza." (私のとっても高学歴な母が、ちょうど今9個ピザをくれた。)

それぞれの単語の頭文字が惑星の頭文字と同じになっている(Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto)。なんかちょっと笑える。そういえば、最近、Plutoよりも大きい第10惑星が発見された、というニュースもあったね。

グーグルしてみたら、他にもいっぱい面白い覚え方があった。↓
