Why did she do it?
My Very Eager Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas.
Taking the first letter of each word in the above sentence, this becomes:
M V E M J S U N P where:
M=Mercury
V=Venus
E=Earth
M=Mars
J=Jupiter
S=Saturn
U=Uranus
N=Neptune
P=Pluto
This is a proposed mnemonic to remember the name of the 9 planets prior to 2006 AD.
However, Pluto ceased to be a planet from the year 2006 and is presently considered a dwarf planet.
Accordingly, it seems that this puzzle must have originated before the year 2006.
