This is pretty neat, except in my solar system: Nine Pumpkins. Always nine pumpkins.

I admit to being firmly in the Nine Pumpkins Camp. As in "My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pumpkins," the mnemonic used to help people remember the names of the planets in the solar system.The Indiana and the Illinois units came over the barricade north of the railroad and captured a gun. Private James S. Adkins of the 33rd Illinois, exhilarated by the bloodless victory, leaped astride the gun tube, waved his elbows up and down at his sides, and crowed like a rooster. Then, curious, he tugged at the lanyard. The gun went off, hurling a shell close over the heads of the units coming up in support, and bucking Adkins head over heels into the dirt. Miraculously, no one was hurt.
