Pluto's not a Planet Anymore...

kingo	Date: August 24, 2006 @ 8:54 PM I Appreciate It... (Don't worry, you won't have to listen long, it's almost the first fuckin' lyric...)" id="242081">Not to too obviously blow our own enormous and hideously malformed horn, but if you were paying attention we were telling you for... a long time that Pluto's not a planet anymore. Took those goddamned astronomers a long time to catch on. I Appreciate It... (Don't worry, you won't have to listen long, it's almost the first fuckin' lyric...)
GeneHilbert	Date: August 25, 2006 @ 2:24 AM It's just as close to being a planet as any other dog in space. Now Mickey is all upset.......

TameasDust	Date: August 25, 2006 @ 3:45 AM well it is and it aint

EvilPicnic	Date: August 25, 2006 @ 9:41 AM Tameas: well it is and it aint Yeh, they haven't exactly chucked it out, just downgraded it. They've changed the criteria of what constitutes a 'planet', and introduced two subtypes. Pluto falls into the lower of these, and so now isn't in the same league as the other eight. It's been relegated to the second division. On the plus side Ceres, Charon and UB 313 (yet to be formally named) have found (or are finding)themselves upgraded from chunks of floating rock to the lower class of planets now known as plutons. So it isn't all bad news.
ChillinBuzz	Date: August 25, 2006 @ 10:04 AM heh, until they declassify this lump of floating space debris
zedsalt	Date: August 25, 2006 @ 11:10 AM Yeah, I think it was well past time for the reclassification. There needs to be a special designation for the cartoon character Pluto, also. I mean, here's this dog in a world full of talking dogs who walk upright, wear clothing, have jobs, etc., and he's far behind the pack in every regard.
Israfel	Date: August 25, 2006 @ 12:02 PM I bet Goofy is getting a good chuckle out of this.
victorsskull	Date: August 25, 2006 @ 1:42 PM and it probly cost millions to decide this
TameasDust	Date: August 25, 2006 @ 4:00 PM or they discover life on pluto and suddenly it is a planet again
Mentalfunk	Date: August 25, 2006 @ 6:08 PM ...er...who cares. Is thats where our/your tax money goes ?
Mentalfunk	Date: August 25, 2006 @ 6:12 PM ....geeks
vzeye	Date: August 25, 2006 @ 9:08 PM Yeah, Pluto is just a "dwarf planet" now instead of a real planet.
imemine	Date: August 25, 2006 @ 9:27 PM "On the plus side Ceres, Charon and UB 313 (yet to be formally named) have found"---No one will remember those---Well-----unless they give them a clever name like "Uranus" or something!
kingo	Date: August 25, 2006 @ 9:47 PM Yes, Mentalfunk. EVERY RED CENT of our tax money went into this decision. It was expensive but well worth it.
evansorchid	Date: August 26, 2006 @ 12:56 AM I think the Plutonians have reclassified Earth as a piece of floating space debris in response.
Mentalfunk	Date: August 28, 2006 @ 9:21 PM ...what wrong with Uranus?
