August 24, 200620 yr My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Nine Pies just doest work without the pies.
August 24, 200620 yr Those b*stards. I finally finish school & now I've got to re-learn the planets all over again. :dwarf Neptune and Uranus will now begin jockeying to avoid being "planet least cared about"
August 24, 200620 yr My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Nine Pies just doest work without the pies. You're right... I don't think I want to teach anymore. :fit
August 24, 200620 yr My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Noodles noodles make a hell of a lot more sense than nine pies
August 24, 200620 yr From 9 to 12 to 8. Take an official vote already! And if Pluto is indeed relogated, I will miss it
August 24, 200620 yr Ding Dong! The witch is dead! :elefant Changing the defination of a planet and letting random crap like Ceres be planets for the sake of Pluto is stupid.
August 24, 200620 yr Think about it... 50 years from now, we will be telling our grandchildren that we are so old that there were 9 planets when we were younger (even though by then there might be a gazillion planets discovered).
August 25, 200620 yr I like this better than the idea of making any round object in the solar system a planet. Pluto is smaller than our moon, anyway. It doesn't deserve to be a planet. I would say the same for Ceres and Xena, or whatever they plan to call it.
August 25, 200620 yr People don't realize how big this change really is. I wonder how much money we've wasted sending probes and missions to the '9th' planet.

Yeah man, imagine how much Disney has wasted on promoting Pluto the dog! Imagine if there was no Pluto, he would be called Neptune. :lol :plain :mischief2 Pluto 1930-2006 R.I.P
August 25, 200620 yr I wont forget you Pluto. Whenever I sent out post cards I will make sure you include you to the list. Even invite you to the parties. Hehe probes to pluto. I guess it is better then sending all of those prodes towards Ur-anus
August 25, 200620 yr People don't realize how big this change really is. I wonder how much money we've wasted sending probes and missions to the '9th' planet. Pluto is still there and stuff to study. We didn't blow it up.

We didn't blow it up. I never thought about it that way. My eyez is open! :mischief From a politial standpoint, Pluto will not be nearly as important a goal to research as the 'pertinent' balls of gas in our solar system.
