So what if I'm tiny and my orbit is eccentric?
I'm a little too far out, so now I'm no longer a planet.
I always thought I was part of the gang, even if I was different.
This really hurts. How could they do this?
MRPLUTO
P. S. Please, never, ever call me a "Trans-Neptunian".

The really important question is... What does this mean for Charon?
Charon
-
you ain't big enough...
;)
-
Charon...I was thinking of you...we're like a double planet...this must be tough for you too.
-
The way things are going, the smart real estate money is on Ceres. With Pluto's demotion, Ceres becomes even more valuable. Originally, nobody wanted to build on Ceres because "it's just this rock, you know". But now that Pluto has been reclassified as a plutard or whatever, small sub-planets are suddenly chique.
So get those checkbooks ready, folks! I'll see YOU on Ceres!
-
I guess size DOES matter...I'm considered less valuable than an asteroid now.
August 24, 2006...a day that will live in astronomical infamy.
-
Where'd you get this from MRPLUTO? Are you sure you're not just pulling this out of Uranus?
-
You'll need to turn in your planet card to the executive wash room...
you'll be allowed one box to carry out any personal things from your office..
The security guard will show you the door out...
:D
Have a nice day....
MUHAHAHAHAHA

Nope...the bearer of the bad news was the BBC:

Uranus had nothing to do with this, I hope.
Wow, now I know what it was like to be part of the ENRON "team", Soda!

...Charon, the largest of Pluto's three moons, is no longer under consideration for any special designation...
-
That's what happens when u have bad gas problems, people kick u out of the group.

ARRRghhhhh!!!! Is there no justice! Showing up for observation early day after day, leaving late.... making sure I toed the astronomical line... the missed vacations and sick days spent at the grind... I should have listened to my Mom and became a ****ing asteroid.

It's just been perked out of service, MrPluto. :)
-
Does this mean I can go ask someone if pluto is a planet and if they say yes, I can point, lauch, and then kick them in the shin and say "it aint no planet no more, retard!" then run away laughing and screaming like a madman?

You have no one to blame but yourself. I could have told this would happen. Remember back at the beginning of the solar system? All the planets were picking a spot in orbit and you could have had Mecury's spot but Nooooooo, you said you were to sensitive for all that sunlight and you would rather have a rural address, something about all that over crowding west of Jupiter.
-
Frenchy & Airscrew: Of the "outer planets", as we USED to be known, only Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, and Jupiter have gas "problems". That's why I stayed kinda far out there. That, and the photophobia problem.
Hey Rip....thanks for looking on the less negative side!
Meatwad....the answer is "no", unless you want them to turn around and kick you for being a bad speller.
:p
-
Oops I just noticed that. Thats what I get for being in a college library full of hot college chicks with short skirts, low cut tops so when they bend over their boobs almost fall out, and really tight pants and tops :)
-
Where are you Meatwad? May I join you? I don't really care THAT much about spelling.
-
Yes you can join me. There is plenty of eye candy and breasts to go around :D
-
You can still be considered a planet.
It will however,cost you perk points.
-
Ya know you could put in for an address change. have you ever consider being a moon? Mars could use a good moon, right now Mars has just got those two over glorified asteroids, I mean they're not even round. As far as Charon goes you can just drop him off at Saturn or Jupiter on your way, they have so many moons no one will notice.

when are they gonna define part about "has cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit" thing?
-
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Ur anus :), Neptune, ??????. only 8 now?
Sombody had W...A...Y too much time on their hands
-
Rosanne is fat and ugly enough, why cant we strap her to a rocket and send her off to fill in pluto's slot?
-
I'm outraged and I'm going to fight to get pluto reinstated until I get bored with doing so!!!!

YIKES!
I first read about the Pluto demotion on the internet this morning. Frightening to say, the FIRST thought I had was--
WHAT WOULD MRPLUTO ON AH SAY?
Now I find this thread...and wishing I lived in a state with a lottery, cuz I'd go picking numbers.
Besides, here's what the orb PLUTO might be saying right now:
(***Please read imagining the voice is that of the late Sam Kennison***)
GREAT! WONDERFUL! I've been in orbit in this sub-galaxy for MILLIONS of years...dodging comets...dodging meteors...toughing it out in the FURTHEST camping spot from the SUN...FAR BEFORE there was ever LIFE on EARTH (panziea**es) and a group of freeking CARBON UNITS millions of miles away...who have NEVER BEEN HERE decide that I don't have the RIGHT to be a planet?????????
OH___OH___OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHH!!!!
Hey "scientists"...if you are so smart, why haven't you devised a craft capable of bringing one of your frail, sissy-a**ed, lilly-livered, carbon unit selves out here to MY neck of the woods to even SEE what I'm all about?
You guy still are picking over MOON ROCKS from 30 years ago!
The best you have ever done is land a Volkswagen with CB antennas on Mars...and you LOST the first one! Way to go EINSTEINS!
For your pea-brained information, I AM a PLANET! Just because I'm not as big as Saturn (gasbag), and Neptune (gasbag), or Uranus (funniest name for a planet in the sytem--got beaten up alot at the inter-galactic bus stop as a kid) doesn't mean I'm NOT a PLANET!
Humans.....whattabunchofmoron s.
signed...
PLUTO
-
OK I'm out. Sorry pluto.
-
You tell 'em, Pluto! Stupid humans...will they ever understand what they've lost? Perhaps the children will.
Superdud...thanks for the thought, anyway.

Thank you for the link, Soda.
It was a terribly unfair vote & it's great to see that scientists are rallying to my side.

Pluto lost it's status because according to the new rules, it must:
1. Orbit the sun
2. Have enough mass that gravity pulls it into a more or less spherical shape
3. It must "clear its neighborhood around its orbit"
Ceres does not qualify due to the asteriod belt being in it's neigborhood.
Xena and Sedna do not qualify due to th myriad of Kupier belt objects within thier neighborhood.
Pluto (and Charon) do not qualify because, like Xena, it crosses the orbit of Neptune.
Neptune therefore should be demoted because it has not claered it's neighborhood of three "dwarf planets"
-
See, everyone missed the true funny bit...
Charon came in here and posted... And never came back... You see, THAT is how to be indignant... Mr Pluto, he's just basking in the memory of his glory... But Charon, that dude laid down the finger and laid it down hard.
Sometimes its just important to know when to STFU. And Charon understands
-
So....'scientists' can't agree on what is a planet, but we're supposed to believe their predictions about global warming:rofl
-
bastardized a song for yah...
I just can't believe that it's over.
We were chilling out on the sofa,
Digging how the sun glows
In a place that no one knows
Did you catch that moon yourself,
Or did that neptune monster help?
Does everyone have a different take?
you seemed real but now your fake?
Does everyone get hypnotized by your cold?
So long, pluto, so long.
Though you only stayed a moment,
We all know that you're the one. Singing,
So long, pluto, so long.
We miss you now you've gone.
Life goes on.

Well it was discovered in 1930
that was 76 years ago
They beleive It takes Pluto 248 years to orbit the sun. (till its happened they havent proven it)
so Id say in another 172 years we will know for sure.
So be sure to stay tuned LOL

Give it time. I predict it wil regain its status as a planet inthe next 200 years lol

Pluto row could lead to Neptune losing planet status
RICHARD GRAY SCIENCE CORRESPONDENT
The solar system's biggest planets are at risk of being stripped of their status after the world's top astronomers voted to downgrade Pluto into the dwarf planet category.
Experts claim that the definition for planets adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) could also see Neptune downgraded.
They say that both planets fail to meet all the criteria set by the IAU.
...edit...
Harold Weaver, from the John Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory and a New Horizons project scientist, said: "Since many 'Plutinos', including Pluto, cross Neptune's orbit, I'd say Neptune's neighbourhood still needs some clearing."
I must be very tall....

That's Pluto for you, loves the limelight, just can't get over the fact that his career is over and he now has to return to the dimly lit galleries of the solar system. No longer an A list planet, he's just a Z list rock in space. :p

They only had the time because they finished rearranging their panty drawers and re-alphabetizing their make-up cases earlier than expected.

Just don't get so tall that someone notices that some clearing is needed in the vicinity of Uranus.
