Pluto Voted Out

| | Comments (1)
PRAGUE, Czech Republic (AP) -- Leading astronomers declared Thursday that Pluto is no longer a planet under historic new guidelines that downsize the solar system from nine planets to eight.

Pluto is now considered a "dwarf" planet, along with Ceres and UB313, aka Xena.

Pluto, Ceres and Xena as dwarves? Everybody knows there were seven dwarves: itchy, scracthy, lumpy, dumpy, icky, snotty, and JimBo. What a bunch of morons. According to one guy:

Brown was pleased by the decision. He had argued that Pluto and similar bodies didn't deserve planet status, saying that would "take the magic out of the solar system." "UB313 is the largest dwarf planet. That's kind of cool," he said.

Kinda cool. Right. Let's see how he feels when the rest of us meet and decide to change the name of astronomers to "Arrogant Blockheads" -- just because we like it better. Shouldn't the Plutons, or the Plutonians, or the Pltuo-ites, or whatever-the-heck-you-call-people-from-Pluto have some sort of say in all of this?

Vaya Con Dios, Pluto.

My cousin called me up and was telling me about all the weight he's lost on this strange new diet. He was really excited. So I dug around and found the link to share:
Dr. Siegal's Cookie Diet - More than 500,000 people have used his cookies to lose weight. Now it's your turn!
