That’s not news. I been tryin to tell them there was 2 others for nearly 2 years but them astrologers don’t listen. They always just wanted to talk about my sign and stuff. I told that woman I didn’t have no sign, but I discovered 2 new moons around Pluto. She wasn’t much of a scientist cause she kept insistin I had “the moon of Venus in my 3rd house” and some other jibber jabber. No matter how many times I told her I only had 1 house and it weren’t near big enough to have any dang moon in it she kept on insistin it. I am not much on those astrologers, I figgered scientists who studied space and stuff would be smarter but I was wrong.

I thought so to. Even when I splained to her I was a fellow scientist she just kept on jabberin about silliness like 28 degrees of Gemini, cosmic aspect ratios and it made me kinda mad cause I needed to talk about real science.kwillia said:OMG...
You laugh, but I for one have been extremely concerned about Pluto's planethood status.aps45819 said:

Jeez you people are slacking.
Actually, I have been following the debate about Pluto's planentary status, and I think the main problem is that there is no established criteria which defines a planet.
It certainly can't be satellites, or the lack thereof, because neither Mercury nor Venus have moons, and I don't think anyone disputes their claims of planet-hood. I don't think size should be a driving factor either, because Mercury's size is comparable to Pluto's.
Maybe they'll go the route of Star Trek, and they'll have things like "M-Class" planets.
Yeah, I know.

Same here. I've been reading about Pluto for many years and find it fascinating. They had a good article about it this year in National Geographic as they're getting ready to launch a probe next year that will finally visit the planet in 2015. Maybe then a lot of questions will be answered.
Sounds like they're saying because it meets SOME criteria, it must be a planet. I don't know if I buy that but without a good definition, they can call it a planet if they want to do so. :shrug:

Dear not going to be riled up,
I am glad for you and your restraint. The reason I "attacked" you the first time is because you used an example citing, "If I were a flower, I would bloom all year long", which was quite gay, to be honest, and thus I distanced you from being a Texan. It was humorous more than an assault. Just because you get all worked up by some stranger on the internet does not mean I have a problem. My follow through here is because your joke was not only bad; it was pathetic. So, again, I jokeingly removed you from being a Texan.
People here throw crap at each other daily. If you are going to be such a thin skinned little yankee, then you need to check yourself out of this Hotel California, and go find yourself a Disney forum.
Hugs and kisses,

P.S. I didn't give you karma here, so it looks like you have more people to talk to. Maybe you can get the higher powers of the board involved. I think you said you would be talking to them.

We should all worry about Pluto! After all, this could be very dangerous! Ever hear of Plutonium?! The very issue of half-life and radiation ought to make us worry about a big old ball o' that stuff out there in space, just cruising in menacing circles around our sun! What happens when Einstein's relatives get involved?! He had a theory about them, you know - the theory of Relativity. E=MC squared, or loosely translated, Everybody is My Children(squared!) 
That means that the show "All My Children" is probably full of messages to the Einstein family, who probably control what to do with that big ball of nukular stuff out there!! We could end up being one big flaming Insurance Claim!!! Glad I don't work for Aetna!
