Tell me what you really think.

Gravatar Meanwhile, life forms on Pluto are contemporaneously demoting Earth from their own list of "approved planets". I'm picturing Marvin Martian with his Dis-Integrator Ray Gun, calmly obliterating the Earth as he announces his committee's decision that Earth just doesn't fit their revised astronomical model.


Gravatar Well. If Pluto can't be a planet, I need to go back to grade 2. That's just being mean to a poor little planet!


Gravatar Yeah, I agree. Not to mention all the cost that will be incurred by re-writing the school science books, lesson plans, worksheets, projects, etc. Sometimes I think people change things just because they can.


Gravatar I find the whole thing confusing: Pluto and 2 other bodies out there constitute "planetoids" or somesuch nonsense. I mean, one of the "planetoids" doesn't even have a proper name!

read that, the funny part is where the guy says earth and jupiter don't qualify either now because their orbit isn't cleared. Nevermind the obvious issue with neptune and pluto being mutually disqualified because of the intersecting orbits.

I don't really care, I wasn't planning any trips to pluto anyway.


Gravatar Well, you're right. It's not like everyone but about 10 people on the entire earth would ever know the difference! They can keep that secret from us.


Gravatar poor pluto


Gravatar So -- My very excellent mother just served us nothing?

Poor Pluto -- I'll adopt it as my personal planet!


Gravatar It has two moons and orbits the sun, so I fail to see how it isn't a planet.


Gravatar I agree. It is akin to when the Catholics stripped St. Christoper of his powers. Dumb, just dumb.


Gravatar Where did you get that wonderful picture?


Gravatar I actually have "pluto is a planet" shirts on my cafepress shop. now if only my kids would wear them to school!!
