Saturn 61, Dr. Lisa 0
Before class, Saturn only had 60 moons. Get back to my computer, and now Saturn has 61 moons. Yes, this was directly relevant to the material covered today. No, I don't make my students memorize these sorts of numbers as the universe would simply mock them anyways!

I assume you saw Phil Plait linking to Stephen Fry:

Saturn is awesome.
Mike - Yup, I saw that. I want them to name all of our orbital space debris as moons!
I love Saturn, truly, but it's out to get me today!
I think we should celebrate each newly discovered moon with cake.
Oooh...since I've never celebrated with moon cake, I have at least 0+0+1+2+63+61+27+13+3 slices to eat! Great idea!
