That is really cool. A guy that my father works with at Pfizer has a sign on his lab window that says "I support Plute as our 9th planet". Then the guy who works in the next lab over has a sign with pluto and a giant red x through it. :biggrin:

Why so much passion over what makes a planet? I don't see the same arguments over defining the continent.

Pluto will always be a planet in my heart, and Eris will always be Xena. :)

Yeah, Pluto's a planet. Anyone who tells you differently just doesn't know about the Richard Muller vote.

edit: btw you just made my desktop background.

LOL! It makes you wonder why we never considered PLUTO'S feeling when stripping it of its planetary status. I mean...it's obviously already being bullied by the other planets. Is it really our place to be joining in!:smile::smile:

Pluto is like the ugly duckling

...except that it stays ugly forever and deserves to be made fun of. I guess that's more like Rudolph or Janet Reno.
