Re: OT: Pluto Not A Planet!
It's all ridiculous anyway. From a scientific perspective it really doesn't matter if you call something a planet or not. It's not as if what you call it affects the reality of what it is.
The most truly assinine thing I read was the article on CNN...
Quote:
It was unclear how Pluto's demotion might affect the mission of NASA's New Horizons spacecraft, which earlier this year began a 91/2-year journey to the oddball object to unearth more of its secrets.

I mean really, come on now. "Sorry guy's. Pluto is no longer a planet so let's turn that ship around and bring her back here."

Re: OT: Pluto Not A Planet!
They may well have meant that the information may be given less attention. It's a sound byte.

You guys are sick. Leave my mother out of this.

Ugh. Just ugh. God, I hope that one doesn't end up in textbooks or teaching material, parents everywhere would never hear the end of the giggles or the snickers.
