I thought this picture was too cute and funny for words. But seriously...I agree with them.:D

I'm undecided on this. I have an interest in astronomy and have discussed the Pluto debate many times.

It could be called a big ball of ice or be considered a planet. I'm still undecided.

Dude...wtf!? Only in America would a 'save the classification rights of Pluto convention' take place :tongue:
But as a whole i'd personaly just go by what ever an astrolagist might class it/them as...all these pathetic small solar rocks they keep naming haha
''There are objects which are of comparable size to Pluto, so if you think of Pluto as a planet then you should refer to those objects as planets'' as said by Prof Mark Bailey
but if Patrick Moore says they are, then they are. If he says they aren't, then they're not!

Im with you! Because I always see pluto as a planet. It is cool because pluto is such tiny and that is very special! PLUTO IS A PLANET!

[Eibhlin]

Hey, if I am old enough for a planet to be unplanetted then I am too old, so Pluto is still a planet!

which leads me to the dammit Janet song from The Rocky Horror Picture Show

MERIO, Jesus Christ! You've got the best looking avatar and signature I've seen in a while. And yes, I still do like wackyoverKhaki's. Melinda went for the EDA look, old school Jewel.

You guys are really creative, I don't even really know how to change mine!

Maybe we can put up a thread on that in the Forum suggs and Q&A's section.

Well, here's how I see it. It has moons and an atmosphere and it orbits the sun. And those scientists are so fickle. First they say it's not, then they say it is, then they change their mind again. 50 years from now they'll just say it is again. And from what I heard, only a small number of astronomers voted to oust Pluto as a planet. The vote was held AFTER most astronomers already left the convention.

And veilingmeat I know it's not that big of a deal. I just like having fun and being obnoxious about it!;)

This is what he personally thinks of his demotion!

Yeah, I say Pluto's always going to be a planet, no matter where it floats. Once a planet, always a planet IMO. Of course I'm probably just mad at science for ruining diet sodas.
