Somehow, this bothers me. They teach us this for years in school, and then, by a vote of some geeks, Pluto is no longer a planet?

Now every kid's 4th grade paper mache model of the universe that is cluttering the basement is wrong. The end!

Pah!

2,500 nerds that make a living staring at the sky should NOT be able to make such a decision!!

OMG! Did they also vote to make Saturn start with a B?!

We should definitely be responsible for the new mnemonic device to help kids remember the 8 planets!

Damn it! Damn it! The password I'm using almost everywhere is composed of the first letter of each planet, from Mercury to Pluto. I'm gonna have to change that now, fucking astronomers.

Ha ha, first off, the planets' names are in French and there is no way anyone can (and would want to) link this KATG account to anything I own. I guess. I hope.

Long live Pluto.

I don't understand how Pluto can be downgraded from a planet but one of its moons can suddenly become a planet. And there is also an asteroid that they want to call a planet now, too. One of them is known as Xena right now, though they're going to give it an "official" name if it gets upgraded.
