This is outrageious. First they kick Taiwan out of the UN, then they kick Pluto out of the solar system. What's next? Are we going to rename Earth and start calling it something stupid like "the Planet"? Citizens of the Solar System unite and Save Pluto Now!!

Actually, they just swapped the Republic of China for the People's Republic of China, though today Taiwan is for the large part a de facto country.

When I was a boy, I remember dinosaurs called "Brontosauruses." Palentologists apparently got bored and renamed them, as I recall. You don't hear so much about brontosauruses any more. Pluto must be undergoing the same wrath. It's job security for astronomers, I suppose.
