Another controversary is done

[muppetsforlife]

I just remember the rhyme i learned in gradeschool to remember the planets. "My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas." Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto. Its kind of a stupid rhyme to remember them now that I think about it. But it stuck with me for all these years, but now that pluto isn't included, what happened to the pizzas? The sentence don't work anymore.

Well, at least now you can leave the rest of the blank after "nine" to your own imagination. Why stop at pizzas when your very educated mother could serve you two hundred bean burritos, or a dog shark, or a motorcycle?

Just think, In a few years, if pluto stays officially not a planet, younger generations wont know what pluto is! AHHHHH!

How silly. Even if Pluto is small enough to be considered a dwarf planet it is still by definition a planet. God made all 9 planets of various sizes though He was constant in giving them the round shape when He created the universe. Or 10 or more depending on whether He slipped a few more planets here and there a bit further out of the range of our telescopes.
And He put us on Earth because it was placed just right in proportion to the sun. If it moved an inch away we'd all freeze up. If an inch nearer we'd all be barbecued. Isn't the Creator an Almighty genius?

I'm sure younger generations will learn about Pluto as the first known example of objects of its type, and also the history behind it. It definitely won't fade into obscurity no matter what its eventual designation.

Nooooooo! Not Pluto! That was like.....not one of my favourite planets at all! But it still deserves a mention, man!

 

[G-MAN]

I think that's crappy.

 

[Teheheman]

Um.......why was this an issue again? I mean, it's not like it's a special club or something. I think that we should have just added the other 3 planets. This is just a big nerd debate that shouldn't even be an issue. But, what do I know?

Well, I agree with you there. People are taking this and blowing it out of proportion. Is the planetary status of a ball of ice and rock millions of miles away really the most important thing people have to worry about these days?

You see, they were telling us this when I was in school, that Pluto technically wasn;t a planet. It just wasn't official. The newscaster here in NY made a pretty dry but funny joke when this story broke when he said "Pluto is no longer a planet, and that's just plain Goofy." Lol!
