As with SOaP, this will be my only entry on this subject.

Admit it: You only wanted Pluto to stay a planet because a) you had to memorize it in grade school, and b) it's just so little and cute.

Actually, technically this isn't my only entry on the subject. New Gaybortion!: Sorry, Pluto.

YES. I was waiting for such an image to emerge. Congratulations on being the first one I've yet seen.

Even though I saw it coming from someone, somewhere, it's still funny.

Scientists are mean.

There's no other case where the impact of the Greek and Roman name of a god is so totally different. One is a cute little not-quite-a-planet and a cartoon dog, and the other is a big scary brother of Zeus and the Abode of the Dead.

I reckon it was the dog that did for the planet status mind you, not any technical size and shape considerations.

Nah. I wanted it to stay a planet because I used to watch Sailor Moon, and Pluto was the coolest senshi!

Hahahaha, I was gonna do a IM NOT IN UR SOLAR SYSTM but that's so much more concise and delicious.

Is it official? That's sad, I was hoping we were about to add a few new planets to the list.

Why can't they just throw in a variance for Pluto anyways? You know, like getting permission to build out of the boundaries of the local zoning?

Phooey I say!

I wanted Pluto to stay a planet, if only for the next two to be discovered to be given the names Mickey and Goofy, like Robert Anton Wilson mentions in the Illuminatus! trilogy.

You have snail mail-related email.

Oh definitely 'B'.

what is this "memorizing" thing? how hard is to to memorize nine eight names? there are—and have always been in recent memory—literally fewer planets than there are numbers in our number system. what kind of retard can't remember eight fucking names? how hard is this? i don't even understand why they say "memorize," like this is some sort of profound mental exercise. it's like "memorizing" your own name. wtf. if this is the sort of shit that intellectually challenges us in grade school, then i say our civilization is doomed. granted i'd probably say that anyway, but this certainly isn't helping anything.

That's not a picture of Pluto!

Why do you traffic in falsehoods, sabotabby?
