I'm a little sad to see Pluto demoted as a planet. The key question is how we update:
my very educated mother just served us nine pickles
The Economist, always on the forefront of important issues, suggests:
my very educated mother just served us noodles
Kottke had a contest for a planet mnemonics, with this excellent winner (using nine planets as a protest):
My! Very educated morons just screwed up numerous planetariums.
I think it should be My Very Exellent Mother Just Server Us Noodles, but I like My! Very educated morons just screwed up numerous planetariums.:)

The most popular replacement acronym, and the one I think is best is: "My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Nachos."
"Nine Pizas" = something kids like a lot
"Nachos" = something kids like a lot
"Noodles"?? Nah!
