Pluto, You're Out!

Pluto is not only a Mickey Mouse cartoon character (created in 1930, the same year the planet Pluto was discovered), but a planet, or at least it was. That's right, one of the planets messed up and got kicked out of the Solar System. This will probably have some serious consequences on our educational system. Besides changes in the text books, planetariums, Solar System hanging mobiles and models, space charts, and horoscopes, games shows may be effected. * Star Snickers * Who wants To Be a Millionaire and Jepardy may have to change some questions and answers. For example, "What former planet which is no longer a planet, used to be the 9th and fartherest planet in our Solar system?" Duh, Aflac! Homer Simpson, "Do you know the answer?" "Dolt!" Now that Pluto's in the doghouse, what's next? Will they someday put the Big and Little Dippers on the shelf and not allow them to be called constellations? This is a slippery slope and personally I think they've gone too far. All the way to Pluto, in fact! We saved the whales, now let's save Pluto! Let the world vote on it. "Do you want to keep Pluto as the 9th planet or not?" Where's the love? It's almost like Mickey telling his dog, Pluto, "You're no longer a dog." I thought once a dog always a dog and once a planet always a planet? Get the rest of the story. Submitted by www.frontiergalaxies.com Get the New "Save Pluto" T-Shirt!
