    I think its stupid. Why change something like that when we've all been taught that for years.

    I bet the catholics said the same thing when they were told that the earth is round :p

    but anyway, I agree with their choice, it's too small to be called a planet

    who cares how small it is. it has its own moons so it should still be considered a planet.

    Shoot, they had last week decided that it could stay as a planet so they apparently changed their minds in the span of a week, heh.

    Well, the new generations who are just entering school are going to start learning it differently now.  Soon all the people who had been taught for years that Pluto was a planet will be dead and the only ones left will know it's not.

    Tada!  Problem solved.

    And of course it all ties back to money.  Soon there will be new text books and reference charts and wall posters of the solar system that won't include Pluto on them.  Then of course people will be searching all over the internet and ebay to try and find these charts that do include the solar system with Pluto.  

    People will then makes loads of money because they are now collectables and then we will have people like Garytron, in the year 2435 they will have 'tron' added to their names because they are part human and robot, who has a family heirloom of a solar system poster with all nine planets that he keeps in plastic wrap above the CocoaDispenser3000.  

    He will tell his grandson Tylertron, "Your grand pappy has kept this in the family for years and it's going to be yours."  Of course the thing will only be worth 2 zeblerzurkulons.  Which will be the equivalent to $.83 cents in current US currency.

    So if these science geeks don't understand what they are about to do to society as we know it... Who are we to stop them.  

    Pull out your zeblerzurkulons guys.

    Oh that's just an excuse.

    Really.

    Pluto's only been a planet for 60 years. It's really not going to be missed all that much.

    It is still a planet really, it's now just a dwarf planet. This is the way science IS, it's not an exact... well, science.

    we've got two new dwarf planets too, no-one seems very happy about that, maybe it's cos they don't have the same name as a disney character :p

    I bet it totally has to do with money ;)

    The scientists all got together and were like "You know we're not making enough millions off of text books... lets CHANGE everything so they have to change the text books so we can make more money!"
