Been meaning to get to this since yesterday...
In a move sure to throw 6th grade astronomy classes and planetariums everywhere into complete chaos, the International Astronomical Union (a bunch of party ANIMALS, I hear) have stripped Pluto of it's status as a planet.
Instead, the IAU has come up with a new sub-designation called "dwarf planet", which they have applied to Pluto and a few other chunks of rock floating around the solar system.
Personally, I am outraged by this change of direction. My entire frame of reference has been shattered - I'm not sure how to get my bearings in a solar system which contains 8 planets rather than 9.
Heavens (literally)!
If that doesn't deserve a rimshot, then I quit.
