But does Pluto really care? Let's do a poll.

UB313 is good, honorable, hardworking planet doing the orbit Solarian planets won’t do.

Mercury, Venus, the Earth and Mars would be "rocky planets". The gas-giants Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune would be a second category. Bulwinkle planets?

Pluto's newest moons get names: Nix, Hydra.
Uh-oh!

Does that mean it will be harder to get an FHA-guaranteed mortgage there?

This is what happens when you let a lot of out-of-staters move in!

Well Pluto's tilted eccentric orbit is more like a comet's orbit than a planet's orbit and most likely it was originally one of Neptune's moons that somehow got free of Neptune's gravity.
To: PatrickHenry
But if we get rid of one planet, won't that effect the orbits of the others? If you're an astrologist will this mean a cut in pay? Less reliable horoscopes?

Pluto was originally named something else, I think? Starts with H...
Uranus has certainly lost it's status over the years. It seems like its' tracks are messy.

This is clear bias against circumfrencially-challenged bodies. When do the protests start?

Didn't they declare Hollywood a planet?

What is the nature or essence of a planet?
I like it when scientists argue in Aristotelian/Scholastic terms.
