Pluto isn't a Planet. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

[Apokalipse]

are planets for sale? I would liek to buy a solar system or two... they are cheat right? I mean, there are so many... to go around. What will 25 cents get me?

a small space rock...

if you want to purchase a solar system, the easiest way to do it is to deposit that 25c into a bank account, with a fixed compound interest rate of about 5% p.a., and then travel forward in time a few million years.
then you'll be able to purchase some of the best star systems in the galaxy. and possibly the pegasus galaxy aswell.

I never claimed it would end anything. Stop being stupid, it's not a difficult thing to understand.

............aright people. The snakes on a plane thing last for a whole 5 seconds........shut up with it already.

You tried to end it.

 

[Apokalipse]

can we keep this on track?

 

[Powerslave]

no

 

[Apokalipse]

no

no, the answer is yes. the question was rhetorical. no snakes on a plane.

now, to get this back on track:

what is pluto classified as now?
wikipedia says it's a "dwarf planet"
I've heard comet aswell....

 

[Spartan]

pluto is a comet...

It's OFFICIALLY a "DWARF PLANET" along with Xena and Ceres, the largest discovered asteroid as of yet.

In my opinion, I think that its a moot topic anyway. Sooner or later, it will regain the status of "planet", but who the f*** even cares?? Changing its classification knocks out one planet from the solar system; it's not exactly an earth-shattering event.

By the way, it actually got changed because from now on, a planet has to be the largest spherical body in the proximity of its orbit. Pluto crosses Neptune's orbit and orbits closer to the sun than Neptune for a sizeable amount of time, so it got axed.

rest in peace, pluto.
