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.

First, the speed of light is found not to be a constant, now Pluto is not a planet, when will the insanity ever end?!?

When they find a strange black monolith on the moon.

The revolving styrofoam ball solar system for science fairs -
somehow changed with time, no longer the same
Pluto - the unplanet, always dwarfed in size, now a true dwarf -
- still revolving, still styrofoam or no?

Pluto has become the underdog of our solar system

When it was discovered they named it after the god of the underworld,

and now to add further insult its been demoted to drawf status.

I would not be one bit surprized if Pluto decided to go rouge, and wander off through the Galaxy alone, taking one of its moons with it, and flinging the other in our direction in a parting shot.

I have no words to describe my feelings on what this says about our society. I will now go curl up in a fetal position and wait for the apocolypse.

Well, guess anyone who chooses to live on a rock where the average temperature is real close to absolute zero, and it takes about four hours for radio signals from Earth to reach them, probably has standing to sue if they want.

This just means we are attached to our planets by more than mere gravity.

Hey! Now how long would it have taken for our television broadcasts to reach pluto? The residents shouldn't even be aware yet that their meteor isn't even a real planet anymore.

The world has not heard the end of this incident, not by a long shot.

There is a huge grass roots ground swell of rebellion, esp in the US.

After all, Pluto is the only planet that was honored with a Beatles song being dedicated to it, complete with 9 minutes of actual radio transmission from the distant world: Number Nine, Number Nine, Number Nine.

The rebellion has started: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060825/.../selling_pluto

i think we'll always thinks of Pluto of the 9th planet. And now confuses among the kids in school right now but how many actually put Ceres and Charon on their solar system projects? I guess those companies making solar system projects have to update now their kits.

Pluto will always be a planet in my heart.

there is more behind this than they are saying in the news

apparently NASA and the US military industrial complex has been secretly mining a raw material from Pluto for the last 30 years - an element they use for weapon systems

and now that they have all of the Plutonium they need, the planet gets downgraded (just is case word gets out it has been pillaged)! Strip mining a sovereign planet is one thing, but taking all the natural resources from a "big asteroid", who cares, right?

Now you know the real truth!

So, if Plutonium comes from Pluto, are there Venus Flytraps on Venus? Mars chocolate bars on Mars? Saturn cars on Saturn?

Does pigment come from pigs?
