Pluto no longer a planet!
Quote:
|
PRAGUE, Czech Republic - Pluto, beloved by some as a cosmic underdog but scorned by astronomers who considered it too dinky and distant, was unceremoniously stripped of its status as a planet Thursday.

Goodness, that's just rude! Maybe Pluto can find another solar system where it will be accepted.

Wonderful. Now everyone will be blowing hot air up Pluto's ass, telling it what a wonderful star it is and how any solar system would be lucky to have it.

Maybe it can look into becoming an alumni planet?

Guess what.
I am in charge of maintaining the Juvenile Science collection at my library.
Which means that with Pluto no longer being a planet, I will be doing A LOT of weeding and re-ordering in the upcoming months.

What a shame to be stripped of planetary status after more than 75 years! What would the curators of the Lowell Observatory think about this?

I've had this 2 Skinnee J's song stuck in my head for the past 3 days:
With depravity I break laws of gravity
Blast past the atmosphere to the last frontier
I go boldly through space and time
The sky's the limit but they're limiting the sky
I break orbit by habit
I ignite satellites and leave rings round the planets
A flying ace like that beagle
Nevertheless this alien remains illegal
'Cause their discovery don’t cover me
The immigrant's been left in the cold to grow old and disintegrate
Discriminate against the distant and disclaim this
'Cause their small minds can't see past Uranus
But I shun their rays
'Cause stun's just a phase
And my odyssey runs in two-thousand and one ways
And I can see clearly now like Hubble
Shoved off the shuttle here's my rebuttal
It's a planet.
Who do you represent?
I represent the smallest planet
Attorney in this tourney versus those who tried to ban it
If you don't agree go see interplanet Janet
Cause sun is star like Pluto is planet
So lend me all ears and let me state my case
about all the types of satellites we must embrace
Cause like my parents' great grandparents - this planet is an immigrant,
to deport it’s an offense
It's an upstanding member of the solar system
Apply the laws of Earth and make it a victim
Of Proposition 187
If Pluto spawns a moon, it will apply to the heavens.
I'll damn you like Judas of Iscariot
If you demote this mote remote to affiliate
It's like taking ET's custody from Elliot
Support your Lilliput, 'cause simply put
Pluto is a planet
Do it for the children
(If not for yourselves)
Pluto is a planet
