What will they tell us next? That we're all aliens and that we really don't live on planet earth? Who are these people?

Rename the thing, too. And why do newly discovered moons and (now) asteroids and dwarf planets (some asteroids were already named, yes) continued to be named after pagans? Stop it already, and give them secular names.

It's a transneptunian object, and their has been conjecture since its discovery.

Screw those elitist scientists (so-called). Pluto will always be a planet to me -- the most distant planet!

I'm sure they're seeking grant monies to reverify their findings.

I wonder if you'll have to pay a fine if you blow off these artsy-fartsy "academics" and continue calling Pluto a planet. I'm a lot better with names and faces than I am with numbers.

Ah, just so.
A rose by any other name is....well, a really big ball of ice. Oh, I forgot, it's also dark, cold, distant and not my ex-fiance - who is.

The big deal over Pluto being demoted from a planet to a dwarf planet (whatever the heck that means) reminded me of a comment a short, froggish looking guy said once. "Lost a planet, Master Obi-Wan has. How embarrassing. How embarrassing."--Yoda, Attack of the Clones
