Space ping!
Wait til the Plutonians hear about this. They're gonna be pissed, blame Bush and start a galactic jihad.
There are still 9 in my book.
"My Very Elegant Machine Just Smashed Up Nine." ???
I'm shocked..........

Good riddance. I've always hated this oversized potato.

Not bad.
Doesn't that mean that Neptune too, the orbit of which must overlap Pluto's is also not a planet? Especially since it's orbit overlaps Pluto's, Neptune has failed to have "...cleared the neighborhood around its orbit."
I have'nt been this upset since they declared that Dagobah was not a planet.
That means I can have it?
Mother Visits Every Monday and (asteroid belt) Just Stays Until Noon.
(The "Period" was Pluto. I'd say it's small status in the sentence, foretold it's doom as a planet!)
Here he is, waiting to hold a press conference.
Thought they were going for 12 and went the other way to head down to 8.
Guess they are not into make-jobs for future astronomers.
I almost went to Prague, because my dad's an astronomer and was invited to the IAU meeting, but we didn't get our passports in time. Anyway, I kinda saw this coming: Somehow I knew they'd declare Pluto not to ba a planet. My dad, however, says if he were there, he would've voted to keep the solar system at 9 planets.
I guess they will now do away with Scorpio from Astrology. It was ruled by Pluto!
Bye-bye scorpios!!
Modern "science" is now become the result of one form of an opinion poll or another.
1. Global warming is considered "real" because a significant number of scientists think it's man's fault. Not because of studies or experiments. Just a show of hands from the properly chosen group of "scientists."
2. Katrina was a result of global warming, a new poll shows. Who cares about actual meteorology?
3. Abortion is not considered murder. Don't bother with facts, like DNA that differs from the mother. Just a show of hands from the properly chosen group of "doctors."
4. If we don't have embryonic stem cell research, we'll never cure paralysis. Never mind the fact that adult stem cells are ready for approved treatment for over 70 kinds of ailments and embryonic stem cells have only caused cancer in lab rats. But the public demands it! polls say.
5. And now Pluto is not a planet. We couldn't wait 10 years until a probe is sent there to learn more about it. Forget the science...we need a vote, and we need it now!
They're just mad cuz they can't get a space craft there. This way, they can take the "planet" title away and not feel like they "failed". Pffft.
Pluto will always exist in my book.
