Did anyone else know PLUTO was no longer a planet??

[Crankyshank]

Yep. You even missed a plethora of DIS threads joking about what would happen to Pluto the dog because of this

 

[TheDoctor]

It was in the news several months ago. Some think that this is a little anti-American in that Pluto is the only planet discovered by an American

Does anyone know what has to say about all of this?

Yep, my DS10 told me...I had no clue.

I guess I need to turn the disney channel off and reach for more than the Target ad in the paper!

Now I am embarassed. My sister and bil were visiting during the... incident. I just know they are going to get me something planet related for christmas.

Here is a T-Shirt worth considering...

There's also one out there that says :

Pluto < Planet

The Museum of Natural History in NYC even took Pluto out of there cosmic hall. Now they only have 8 planets on display...

Edited to add: A bit off topic but I *just* found out flotsam & jetsam are real words! I had no idea...I thought Disney just made them up. So, I wonder how many people knew they meant things either accidently falling off ships (flotsam) or intentionally thrown off (jetsam) and I was completely clueless until I was reading ASK magazine that I got for my 9 year old. I'm pretty sure I graduated from High School & even have a 2 year college degree but I'm not 100% sure I shouldn't go back to grade school lately.

LOL, I learned this in HS AP English. We studied some poem that used flotsam and jetsam in it.

Think about the poor teachers (myself included) who now have to discard all Solar System posters and material with 9 planets listed.

He's grieving it and expects to be re-instated with full benefits and back pay.

I can see it in 50 years: "When I was your age, Pluto was a planet"

 

[minnie56]

Heard it some weeks back!

...
Did everyone know this? .....or is it just me....

Just you...
Really it was only a few months ago that it was announced. Very easy to miss....with all the other hoolpa going on...you know...TomKat, Bradjelina, and Britney Gate. Not too mention Paris Hilton and the gang.

Well, it's under appeal. So Pluto may still get reinstated.

Kind of reorders the whole universe when something you always considered so stable as a planet is no longer a planet.

I didn't know other planets had rings like Saturn.
