CNN have just done a newsflash with the following on it :-

Leading astronomers say Pluto is no longer defined as a planet
So what exactly is it then ?

All my school science lessons re astral matters have just been turned around.

So are they next gonna tell us that The Moon is made of cheese after all ?

Edit : Here's The Link

After a tumultuous week of clashing over the essence of the cosmos, the International Astronomical Union stripped Pluto of the planetary status it has held since its discovery in 1930.

If I was Pluto I'd go and find myself a solar system where I was accepted as a planet.

Its not so much that pluto isn't a planet, its the fact that if you accept Pluto as a planet then you may have to accept many many more objects out there as planets too, depending on your exact definition of what a planet is

But I guess you knew that

It will be a Dwarf Planet or Planetoid according to the Register

yep, 8 planets and 3 new plutoid class (or dwarf) planets. So a bit a compromise. Pluto remains a planet but is classed as a plutoid class planet.

shoot the dog and nuke the Planetoid...

Are there nukes with that kind of range?

Why can't they just, like, leave Pluto alone!

Why must they always pick on the little ones? Planetary mobbing, that's what it is!
OhFFS
FFS... shoot the dog and nuke the Planetoid...
Luckily for the dog and the LGM I don't always do what I'm told.

If they can send bloody mini-rovers to Mars why not a whole fleet of nukes to Pluto? Imagine the challenge for science...

The Moon IS made of cheese. Nobody ever listens to me!

Google "The Sorrows of Pluto" and then click Images to see a brilliant little comic strip that wouldn't fit in here.
