I think it is OK... I guess you can classify this as scientific progress... we now know more about Pluto than in 1930 and it is nothing but a chunk of icy mass...
A bunch of cutting edge scientists at one time thought that the void between stars was filled with "eather", but now we know that is almost a vaccuum... |

What if Pluto was made of ribs? Would you eat it?

Late word: Although astronomers have voted that it is not a planet, Pluto has announced that it is going to run as an independent. |

This song is more than a few years old.
Artist : 2 Skinnee J's
Song : Pluto
With depravity I break laws of gravity
Blast past the atmosphere to the last frontier
I go boldly through space and time
The sky's the limit but they're limiting the sky
I break orbit by habit
I ignite satellites and leave rings round the planets
A flying ace like that beagle
Nevertheless this alien remains illegal
'Cause their discovery don’t cover me
The immigrant's been left in the cold to grow old and disintegrate
Discriminate against the distant and disclaim this
'Cause their small minds can't see past Uranus
But I shun their rays
'Cause stun's just a phase
And my odyssey runs in two-thousand and one ways
And I can see clearly now like Hubble
Shoved off the shuttle here's my rebuttal
It's a planet.
Who do you represent?
I represent the smallest planet
Attorney in this tourney versus those who tried to ban it
If you don't agree go see interplanet Janet
Cause sun is star like Pluto is planet
So lend me all ears and let me state my case
about all the types of satellites we must embrace
Cause like my parents' great grandparents - this planet is an immigrant,
to deport it’s an offense
It's an upstanding member of the solar system
Apply the laws of Earth and make it a victim
Of Proposition 187
If Pluto spawns a moon, it will apply to the heavens.
I'll damn you like Judas of Iscariot
If you demote this mote remote to affiliate
It's like taking ET's custody from Elliot
Support your Lilliput, 'cause simply put
Pluto is a planet
Do it for the children
(If not for yourselves)
Pluto is a planet |

I rather enjoy scientists flipping and flopping over what is, essentially, a matter of semantics and mostly an arbitrary designation.
What is the Intelligent Design movement's stance on this important matter? What was God's intention in creating Pluto? What would Jesus do? |

I was watching the Miss Universe contest the other day and Miss Puerto Rico won. Is it just me or doesn't it seem like it's always someone from earth?

So I take it Xena didn't make the grade either...that's sad! To think the furore was supposedly over whether this newie would upset the applecart, and now we've dropped Pluto and the 'plutoids'... |

Sob...
To paraphrase TIME this week, the No Ice Ball Left Behind program has failed.
Just in time, however, before the New Minor Planet League ordered their stationery.

If Pluto is now a "dwarf planet," does that make it Grumpy?
