Re: Pluto not a planet anymore

Stephen Colbert is going to be furious about this...
So will Disney...
And pretty much anyone who had a way of remembering what were 9 planets:

My Very Educated Mother Just Sent Us Nine... what? Nine something, I just don't know. AHHHHHH!!!

Totally watching both The Daily Show and Colbert Report tonight

I expect at least Colbert to mention it, but both should be quite humorous.


Errm, thread topic. That sort of, well... I guess it can be expected, but it's pretty uncool like that, yannow Annoying. I <3 Pluto. He has floppy ears.

Jon Stewart mentioned the news, Colbert was silent about his celebrating too early on the subject. He did however have a science fiction author on the show and discussed the theory of everything.

Re: Pluto not a planet anymore

These astronomers sure have planet sized egos!

Pluto has been called a planet since what? 1930?

Who appointed these people the galactic executives over semantics and nomenclature?

What happens to the beings who live on Pluto now? Are they being demoted to lesser life forms as well? (Well you dont live on a real planet, so you are not important anymore!)

And is it proper to call it a "dwarf" planet? How about a "little" planet, or maybe "mass challenged"?

Re: Pluto not a planet anymore

So...we can change the classification of planets worldwide, yet we all can't agree on a single measurement system (metric).

Re: Pluto not a planet anymore

shouldnt we also stop calling Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus planets as well?

They are nothing like earth

I suggest we call them "Gas Bloated Comet Snarfing Frozen Micro Starlettes"

There! Now we only have 4 planets!

(And Mercury better watch out!)

well... according to definition, they have defined orbits that do not overlap and they are spherical.

who's definition? not mine! What planet are you from?

if Pluto cant be a planet anymore then I say neither can those frozen fat gas bloated comet suckers!

they are micro starlettes that never had what it takes to obtain fusion and ignite. THERE! I said it - they are looser star wannabees

I know it, you know it, THEY know it - lets stop pretending they are planets and call them what they really are.

Re: Pluto not a planet anymore

What's all the fuss about? It's not like some secret board of inquisitors met and voted to kick Pluto out of the solar system! It's still there!

Besides, NASA already launched the mission to go look at Pluto, hopefully arriving on the scene circa ten years hence. It's probably too late to turn back now.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
