So...Pluto is no longer a planet?

What.
The.
Fuck.






They're gonna totally have to change that saying...My Very Eager Mother Just Sent Us Nine...nine what? Just nine?

This is stupid.

Apparently, there are new standards for a planet?

"Much-maligned Pluto doesn't make the grade under the new rules for a planet: 'a celestial body that is in orbit around the sun, has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a ... nearly round shape, and has cleared the neighborhood around its orbit.'

Pluto is automatically disqualified because its oblong orbit overlaps with Neptune's."

My world...is not really falling apart. But this is weird.

 

*weeps*

 

Where did you hear this?

 

My Very Eager Mother Just Sent Us Nein...

 

I read it in the paper the other day too... very weird. It's still a planet as far as I'm concerned

 

Pluto will always be a planet in my mind

 

Kryz, who is that by in the sig of yours?

 

Whoever decided that can go fuck themselves.

Pluto always has been and will be a planet.

I'm officially declaring people with 3 nostrils to be the norm.

Seeing as we're allowed to declare bullshit as being factual all of a sudden.

Then again, I've been doing that for years...

 

My Very Eager Mother Just Sent Us Napalm.

We are nothing without having Pluto as a planet. :'(


Really though, it's very strange.

 

It's Jim Swinson.
Or were you speaking of the marlin?
I don't even know.

PlaceboAddikt, I vote that My Very Eager Mother Just Sent Us Napalm is the new saying. Notify NASA.

I never learned the whole "My Very Eager Mother Just Sent Us Nine Pizza's" or whatever. Don't think I ever learned about the solar system much for that matter. Or my memory is far worse off then I thought.

 

They've been trying to declare Pluto an asteroid for years, but as it was the only "planet" discovered by an American, your space agency balked.

 

It's not like it doesn't exist anymore... we can all still visit every summer, whether it's a planet or not.
