One taught to me by a light-hearted science programme on radio:

Many...Mercury
Volcanoes...Venus
Erupt...Earth
Mulberry...Mars
Jam...Jupiter
Sandwiches...Saturn
Under...Uranus
Normal...Neptune
Pressure...Pluto.

I've always found that easy to remember just because it's so daft smiley - smiley but what happens to these mnemonics after the discovery of the 10th Planet, Quaoar?
