Blog » My Very Elegant Mnemonic Judged Second. Unfortunately No Prize.

Jason Kottke's mnemonic device contest (in which all and sundry were invited to submit a new mnemonic by which to remember the order of planets) has finished, won (very deservedly) by Josh Mishell. Well done Josh, and great idea for a contest Jason.

My effort, in case you were wondering, was one of three runners up, and was "Many Very Earnest Men Just Snubbed Unfortunate Ninth Planet".

I thought they were all good, but I think I just got lucky. I also with I changed mine a little, because a guy commented that it should have been "planetaria" instead.
