Wait til the Plutonians hear about this. They're gonna be pissed, blame Bush and start a galactic jihad.

This is a wise decision.
Pluto was always a nutty anomaly, with its orbit, and later its asymmetric appearance.
It always seemed more like an asteroid.

Nine planets, eleven plants, now eight planets.
These guys count planets like I do my income taxes.

Personally I would consider an object with an atmosphere that orbits the sun a planet. Moons would still be moons because they orbit planets.

Dang, just when I got used to the idea the earth wasn't flat... now they take a planet away. So now I have to teach my grandchildren "My Very Excited Mother Just Showed Me Nine." They're going to ask me nine 'what' I'm sure. |

On ABC radio news the reporter just got finished with the story, and sent it back to the anchor with, "...so now children will be reciting eight planets. Can you name them, Doug?"
"Let's see: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus. This is ..., ABC news"
LOL!
I'm not sure if he just can't count?...LOL
Typical FRAUDcaster.

"My Very Excited Mother Just Showed Me Nine..." Oops I mean "My Very Excited Mother Just Showed Us Nine..." Maybe I shouldn't be teaching them anyway. |

Pluto is automatically disqualified because its oblong orbit overlaps with Neptune's. 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.
To: Lunatic Fringe
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!)
