Look at this sequence:
"MERCURY, VENUS, EARTH, MARS, BELGIUM, BELGIUM, BELGIUM, NEPTUNE"
Do you see anything wrong with the sequence?
Look again.
That's right, in this sequence the planets JUPITER, SATURN and URANUS have been confused with the country BELGIUM, BELGIUM and for a third time BELGIUM.
This is how easy it is for your thrusting young astronomer-about-town to forget the names of the planets of the Solar System, which could cause no little embarrassment if, for example, he was trying to impress a girl using planets.
To prevent public humiliation (specifically regarding the correct identification of our celestial neighbours) simply carry a Pocket Orrery in your trouser or clasped tightly in the armpit. In the event of an impromptu bout of planet naming simply give the Pocket Orrery three hard puffs and it's up, inflated and ready to use. The inflatable planets of the Pocket Orrery are to scale (Jupiter is three storeys tall) and have each planet's name printed around their equator in jaunty Comic Sans.-- rodti, Jul 21 2014 Pocket Orrery http://folksy.com/i...15070-Pocket-Orrery£10 [pocmloc, Jul 21 2014] Pocket Orrery http://www.orreryma...ogue/astro_mini.htmAnother one!
