This definition makes logical sense. I don't think Kuiper objects should be considered planets.

Still, if I'd had a vote (which I don't) I would have voted for Pluto too, for historical reasons and so the public won't think science is too malleable a concept. Besides, it seems cheesy to do this so close to Clyde's death.

What?!? It is the very fact that Science is malleable that makes it Science, not religion.
