Pluto isn't a planet anymore!!!

Kindergarten teachers will have a fun time explaining this.

 

Poor Pluto... we hardly knew ya!

-R

 

I wish someone would confirm that there is no intelligent life on Earth!

 

hey i'm 14, one less thing for me to learn more about!

 

That's the spirit.

 

Worth1000.com just had a photoshop contest about it.

That sucks, Pluto was always my favorite. I'm gonna have to pick a new one now

 

Mine too... I was Pluto in a school play once...

 

Astronomers have been dicking around with this one for awhile. They were possibly announcing two additional planets, and then likely dozens more. It turns out there are a lot of Pluto sized things out there... they're thinking about classifying them as 'plutons' last I heard (this morning).

 

Did Pluto get a hefty severance package like Eisner & Katzenberg?

 

That would be awesome. Maybe when space travel gets more advanced the rich people will buy plutons instead of islands in the Carribbean

 

I'm sure there's a Uranus joke there somewhere.

 

Jeez, thank G for this making the news. It took my mind off of Iraq and other messes for a split second.

 

Who was it that discovered Pluto?

Galieo?

What a rip, bet he's pissed!

 

Kicked out of the Planetary Order, stripped from status. What a way to go.


(And yet they so certain about global warming, what else don't they know)

 

My very exciting mother just showed us..........nothing?








My childhood mnemonic for remembering the planets from the sun outwards was 'My Very Exciting Mother Just Showed Us Nine Planets'.

Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune Pluto.

Oh yeah? Yeah?

My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Naming... Planets.

Err... not anymore.

My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Nothing!

Nothing for you, Pluto! Nothing! Back of the line!

I feel really bad for Pluto. It was so small and cute. It's depressing

 

LOL

 

Pluto got the designation: PL for ... Percival Lowell.

Heck guys, it doesn't even orbit in the plane of the planets. This make tons more sense than last week's news that they were going to add Ceres, Charon, and UB313 (but not Sedna). (Leading to the mnemonic: My Very Educated Mates Can Jump Upon No Politically Concocted Ultimatum. ) Maybe it was just reaction to UB313 being unofficially named "Xena".

But beware: Today Pluto.
Tomorrow: Rhode Island.

 

WHOA!!! RI is still around?!?!?! I thought RI was replaced by Iraq. Oh well.

 

The plutonians must be pissed !

 

LMAO, Nah RI will be replaced my Mass. My favorite was always Neptune for some reason. Pluto was bound to get kicked out, too small, just a rock. I mean Pluto is so important to kids, that Disney had Pluto the dog?, I'm 17 but I don't even pay attention.

I would take a Ferrari over Pluto anyday.
