Debate, and discuss, just dont Bore me.

Now he has gone and done it!  Yes, that destroyer of worlds, BUSH, has not just taken out a lowly country, he has overseen the elimination of an ENTIRE PLANET!  Pluto is gone, wiped from the celestial heavens ON BUSH'S WATCH!

Oh wait!  Sorry, I was channeling another Joe User.  Sorry people for that slip of the pen.

But the story is true, our beloved dog of Disneyland is gone.  Wait, no.  That Pluto is still around.  The Pluto of the Planets has been demoted by the International Astronomical Union this morning (I guess afternoon, Czech time).  So our poor mother Sol has lost a child, and now can only boast of 8 planets, not 9 (or 12).  And the suggestion of creating a new class of planets, called Plutons?  Well, Geologists put the kibosh on that by explaining to their learned brothers and sisters, that a pluton was a rock deep in the earth.

Now we have 8 planets, and 3 what they are calling 'dwarf' planets (Pluto, Ceres and 2003 UB13).

I guess that makes our solar system a little less Mickey Mouse.

Vale, little buddy, may you grow up to be the brightest...

Pluto was always the sullen dark one though.
