? Trivia Question for Today.

#1 Post by etaoin22 » Tue Feb 10, 2009 12:37 pm

Identify this list:

Mars
Venus
Mercury
Jupiter
Saturn
Uranus.

There are no other elements in the list. This is the exact order. It is not a science question, or scientific list. Important data which would make it a lot easier, is of course with-held.

Seems to me we had this somewheres else on the Bored -- Holst's order for The Planets?

I thought of that as well except that the seventh movement, Neptune, is missing. Otherwise the order is correct.

IT was supposed to be Holst, but I may have miscopied off an LP cover. At least I didn't make a mistake and put Bohemian forests and meadows in the middle of the Planets.
