Will there be scones with fruit and fresh cream on the express run?/s

[Fireone]

Pluto, O.K....Just don’t let him buy URANUS!

[ixtl]

Two questions:

1. Who did he buy it from? I mean who claimed to own it? Seems it is there for the taking by anyone who can land there.

2. If he is successful, will there be colonization? If I were younger, I would apply to be in the first wave.

Three cheers for Planet Pluto!!

Let’s hope there’s no colon-ization of Uranus....

[Waryone]

Pluto?!?!? I thought for sure Branson would be more interested in Uranus. ;-)

[RatsDawg]

April Fools perhaps? How do you buy a planet? Ridicules!

[Psycho_Bunny]

This is the only April Fools I’ve seen today that’s been even remotely amusing.

Let’s hope there’s no colon-ization of Uranus....

"Richard Branson buys Pluto ..."

Hmmm, I wonder if there are spaghetti trees on Pluto? I am sure that that famous explorer, Sloof Lirpa, will be eager to find out.

Pluto’s not a place to raise yer kids.

In fact it’s cold as hell.

And there’s no one there to raise them, if you did.

Jussayin’.

[When do we get liberated?]

Its April Fools man....Perhaps you should go in the first wave lol

[Savage Beast]

Good for Branson! I’ve always been irked at Pluto’s demotion.

[Savage Beast]

And besides, he’s one of my favorite dogs.
