The Planets
In 9th grade Earth Science we are currently doing the solar system, and I'm pissed that the Romans completly screwd over the Greeks in the Gods and planet names. So from now on the plaents are:
Hermes
Aproditite
Gia
Ares
Zues
Cronus
Posiden

Of Course if you include Pluto then it is now Hades.

Are you with me Lounge?
