Well thanks to science, we now have eight planets in our solar system. The International Astronomic Union have decided that Pluto, since it cross orbits with Neptune time to time, is no longer worthy of planet status. It's been demoted to a Dwarf Planet, i.e. honrary title for a MOON.
I think I shall look to Obi-Wan Kenobi and say the following...
THAT'S NO MOON.

Floyd Not to fear! Xena and her moon Gabrielle will save our solar system from the loss! http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/10/03/xena_has_a_moon/ How? By throwing a chakram, hitting us with a staff and screaming really weirdly? BTW, those two = LESBIWIN.

Starving people in Africa and several wars in the Mideast and people care more about whether Pluto's a planet.
That's it, I'm staging a rebellion.

See, I'm with Kojiro on this one.
Seriously, how ******** full of ourselves are we? Our LABEL for something has changed. OH NOES. To quote shakespeare, "would a rose, by any other name, smell not as sweet?"
Pluto is still there, exactly the same as it was yesterday, and exactly the same as it was the day before. What we call it has no ******** impact on it whatsoever.
THERE IS SO MUCH MORE IMPORTANT s**t THAN THIS.

No more discussions about Pluto's planetary status because there are more important things to talk about (even though we aren't going to talk about them). stare Yeah, I geuss we should just stick to comic books and Gaia Online then. Or maybe everytime someone expresses a strong opinion about something ultimately trivial we could just halt the discussion based on the grounds that "THERE IS SO MUCH MORE IMPORTANT s**t THAN THIS."

OK,
I see this non-event as theater of the absurd.
Pluto and Charon have gone nowhere. No matter what they are designated as, they're still important objects in the solar system.
And speaking of absurd, just think what naming a planet for a fictional popular television character means! Let's say they find a new object they define as a planet with two small moons. Someone will most likely name the planet Kirk with the moons being named Spock and McCoy. twisted

I actually enjoy all the talk about weather or not Pluto should be called a planet, even if it is unimportant in the grand scheme of things.
It's fun to grumble about stuff sometimes, I understand that.

Strideo Oh good grief, let's get all angsty over a discussion about Pluto. Actually, I was being bitchy over the fact that the day I posted that I had seen like 15 blogs complaning about this like it was the end of the ******** world as well as like 5 news reports and a handful of radio talk shows mentioning it.
