plonqApparently Pluto is no longer a planet.
As far as I'm concerned, it's still a planet. Pluto was a planet before most of those nitwits were born, and even if it doesn't fit their new, more anal definition of what constitutes a planet, it should have had its status grandfathered.
Well, that and they managed to sneak the vote through in a rather underhanded way IMO.
Scientists can be petty too. Who'd have thunk it?
