Just Set Up Nine Planets

NOT ANY MORE!

There are now only EIGHT planets in our solar system.

Thankfully, they got rid of Pluto.

Next time it could be EARTH!

Is the Moon hollow? is it artificial? was it created by an ancient intelligence to create and support life on Earth? why doesn't it spin?

hmmmmmm

Yeah we will but by the time they get here our great-great grandkids will have to worry about them!

I'm glad I'm not a kid these days. They keep changing the freakin solar system every 6 months. Plus they keep changing dinosaur classifications around. Good ol' brontosaurus is no more.

From the BBC website:

The scientists agreed that for a celestial body to qualify as a planet: it must be in orbit around the Sun it must be large enough that it takes on a nearly round shape it has cleared the neighbourhood around its orbitPluto was automatically disqualified because its highly elliptical orbit overlaps with that of Neptune. It will now join a new category of "dwarf planets".

Should that not be "vertically challenged planets"?

Now that I've actually read the whole article, I see that they copped out. A "dwarf" planet? C'mon. So the people who want pluto to be called a planet can still call it a planet, of sorts, and the people who says it's not a planet will be able to say so as well.

There was another argument I read for reclassifying all planets into terrestrial, gaseous and trans-neptunian or some such tosh... What is the solar system coming to?

"It was thought that today's decision will not dramatically affect the status of Disney's Pluto, who made his first appearance as Mickey Mouse's pet dog in the 1930 cartoon The Chain Gang."

Thank goodness that's sorted!

yeah, the Plutonians must be mad now.

When the Plutonians come here and kick our asses, the earth will be a better place.

What is the solar system coming to?

Snorri

fuck the solar system off. Put Earth back at the centre of everything-i doubt we'll see any planets complaining

and what about our four big turtles on which the Mother Earth is based? Are they in danger too?

i failed my senior year of high school because I didn't list Pluto as a planet on a science test.

I'm demanding my diploma now dammit!

poor old pluto all the way out there by himself.

i am offended by the term 'dwarf planet'. the proper term is 'little planet', thank you very much!

as far as i know the Disney charater after which it is named is a male dog.

then again that is prolly just wrong thinking on my part. lol

I find it a bit ironic how it was an American who discovered Pluto at first, yet right now, America seems to be the only country who would even consider creationism as science...

I don't think the person who discovered Pluto considered Creationism to be a science.

to add: why is it ironic? 'america' doesn't consider creationism a science; some americans consider it a science. there's a difference.

some (well, a few) americans believe the earth is flat. that doesn't mean 'america' believes the earth is flat. so, logically, it's hardly ironic that an american, john glenn, was the first man to orbit the (very non-flat) earth.

Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sneezy, Bashful, Sleepy, Dopey, Ceres, Pluto, Xena

Just when Snow White finally got their names straight, they had to add three more. :wink3:

If you're personally offended I'd think wieght watchers would be in order.

Now, please don't hit me for that

I was gonna go down that road too, but it really wasn't worth all that typing.

I was rather angry about Pluto being kicked out of the line up of planets. It was my favorite planet, although having never been there....always admired the little fella, chunk of ice.

oh...so many mean things to say...and I just can't do it...

CRAP!!!

dude, go for it, it was a joke anyway.

this is BULL$$HIT!!, Pluto will always be a real planet to me.

Can we please refer to Pluto as a "planet of short stature" now? Let's not exploit any astral bodies the way we exploit human ones.
