HA HA Pluto got pwned... damn man I hate it when stuff like this happens. Now I know I am getting old because I'll eventualy use this in a conversation.

"When I was your age we used to have an extra planet called Pluto, and we also thought civics were fast"

Its good they got a definition of what a planet actually is, but come on, you'd think there'd be some sort of Grandfather clause to keep Pluto, its been there for 76 years

Lol, I heard this on the radio today...

That sucks, Pluto was always my favourite planet when I was a kid... I guess Saturn just moved up a notch in my head. Lol

the only reason it should remain a planet is cuz its always been considered a planet all this time, why change it, thats what we learned in school.
