It’s official Pluto isn’t a planet anymore.

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.

And why does this matter to you? It doesn’t, but I can imagine science clubs everywhere are holding a silent vigil for the distant disgraced rock.

Anyway it just proves slacking pays off. If I actually paid attention in 4th grade science class, that would have been wasted brain cells. What’s next, T-Rex has feathers? Wait a minute….

    I’m sure Trapper keepers will need to change their folders to say “My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nuts.” :|

    well, some scientists are arguing that Neptune might not qualify either, because It’s orbit is also affected by pluto… and if they get Neptune, Uranus is next.
    Try saying that with a straight face :)

    NOOOOO not Uranus!… is nothing sacred?!

    well while we are at getting rid of planets why don’t we just wipe the whole solar system…. make earth the only planet and consider ourselves elitist?

    Hell lets even change the way shit works…. from now on… I say the sun goes around US!… oh… and despite popular belief, me and a bunch of friends have gotten together… the earth is flat again, so be careful on the open seas.

    …….. Pluto will always be a planet to me, they can never take away my love!
