Stephen Colbert: “My very educated mother just said, ‘Uh-oh! No Pluto’”

Hee hee! It’s better than chocolate and peanut butter, that pairing of Stephen Colbert and Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Don’t forget to mark you calendars for The Pluto Files, boys and girls! (P.S. The book is pretty fabulous, too.)

    My very EDUCATED mother…

    Classic Colbert moment. One of the first eps I ever saw. I don’t think that neumonic will ever leave my brain.

      It was always “educated” and “pizzas” by me, too. My bad in the title of the post; I typed it just after watching the embedded clip, so “elegant” somehow stuck in my mind.

    I’m loving these little promo videos that keep showing up!

    I feel a bit weird because I’ve never needed any mnemonic device for the planets. Ever since I first learned about them, I’ve always just known what order they’re in. Now my problem is remembering the dwarf planets.

    I just finished reading The Pluto Files this morning. Great book!

    My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us…Nachos?

    Nice, I’ve never heard the Porcupine one before. It was always the Pizzas or Pies one for me, too. *flashback to elementary school*

    I am loving all these promos! It’s cute that he did the interview at his own TCR interview desk. :)
