An example of using nor in a sentence would be: " They had neither fish nor cheese at the party." It usually has to be paired with neither to work properly in a sentence.

Nor goes with neither. Or goes with either. The color, gray, is neither black nor white. I prefer either gray or black for lettering.

What is the simple subject in the sentence Neither Mercury nor Pluto are as large as earth?

In your sentence "Neither Mercury nor Pluto are as large as Earth," the word, Neither, is the subject. In classical English it would read, "Neither Mercury nor Pluto is as large as Earth." However American English prefers smooth flow and tends to ignore the rules of classical grammar. It tends to have the verb take the form of the noun or nouns immediately preceding the verb. Thus, while in Classical English, the verb would be is since the subject is Neither, American English is likely to use the verb are since it immediately follows Mercury and Pluto.

What is wrong with this sentence Neither Gore nor Bush could bring themselves to utter a word in defense of scientific truth?

Well, friend, in this sentence, there seems to be a small issue with subject-verb agreement. Since "Neither" is singular, the verb should also be singular, so it should be "Neither Gore nor Bush could bring themselves to utter a word in defense of scientific truth." Remember, mistakes happen, and it's all part of the learning process. Just keep painting those happy little sentences!
