Pluto1.jpg

As we are down here on Earth, gorging ourselves on Starbucks and watching endless newscasts about JonBenet Ramsey (haven’t we already gone through a round of endless reports on this case?)….now we find out that Pluto is not a planet…or more to the point, it has apparently been demoted. Last week, Pluto was a happy little place in the top nine (okay, really it was a very cold, very lonely place, that isn’t the point), now it has been named a dwarf….A DWARF…think about that, a dwarf. I feel bad for Pluto. Can we not come up with something better than dwarf status, I mean, for 76 years Pluto was one of the big guys, number 1 for farthest from the Sun, now, Dwarf. How about Hall of Fame Retired Ex-Planet? There just has to be something better than being called a dwarf if you were a planet only a few days earlier?

    Mr.Lockwood this is so funny. You capture the reader and make them feel bad for this little planet that really has nothing to do with us. You got to love a good old Mr.Lockwood blog about a little old planet called pluto. This is Gold.

    why do these people get to tell us that pluto is no longer a planet it is really not right for them to just isolate pluto.
