I remember having thought to myself some while ago that other astronomy mnemonics had a slightly romantic turn to them...maybe the result of having to spend all those nights alone with a telescope. :) The one for stellar classes comes immediately to mind: "Oh Be A Fine Girl Kiss Me" (and then when they added the N, R and S classes later, the mnemonic added "...Right Now, Smack!"). (Whether the smack is a successful kiss or the kiss-ee's reaction, Echo answereth not.)
