August 17, 200619 yr Great, now we can have 58 in a few years that are completely insigninficant. Ceres a planet? wtf is up with that. It's a fricking rock in the astroid belt that happens to be bigger than the other rocks. Grouping large rocks with the likes of Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus is retarded. :banghead
August 17, 200619 yr I bet you enjoy grouping large rocks with Uranus. :mischief /this thread needing more Uranus jokes
August 17, 200619 yr I think Pluto should remain a planet via one of those grandfather clauses--like what they did with the helmets in hockey--but that all future designations should go by whatever rules the International Nerds Union comes up with. Pluto would be super pissed if it were demoted from Planet to Just Another Really Big Rock status. I also vote that Uranus is due for a name change. The children of tomorrow deserve better than a future filled with Uranus jokes. :lol I think Pluto should stay a planet. We were all taught it was. Besides, its even got a super cool radioactive element with its name. :mischief And a Disney character, duh... too bad the planet isnt actually named after the disney character. the disney character being named AFTER the planet.
August 18, 200619 yr Lucy Lawless is smiling somewhere right now. She'll be making her turkey gobble/whinny battle cry when the vote is finalized.

Wow, it's almost like that comment was sarcastic...
August 20, 200619 yr This is a pretty big deal. We were all taught that there were nine planets in the solar system while growing up. Pluto wasn't named until the 1930's. Not all of us were taught about 9 planets. We have some very old members here....
