Sounds like its time to invest heavily in text book publishing companies.

I've long been an advocate for Pluto's Planethood. I for one welcome our new Plutonian overlords.

It should be noted that, yes, the name of the planet comes from TV's warrior princess, but that it's only a nickname and the official name has not yet been determined.

I just thought of the perfect "name" for the Planet to be Renamed Later:

Scientists are going on a bender of making things planets.
|
Benjamin Grimm Aug 18 2006 02:58 PM |
I think these new planets will do the jobs that the established planets don't want to do.

They'll have to answer to the Disney Corporation for that.
|
Benjamin Grimm Aug 24 2006 09:58 AM |
To mollify Disney, they're going to change the name of Uranus to "Winnie the Pooh."

ding! ding! ding! This thread is much more fun than the Shawn Green one. And, b'sides, it gives me excuse to look at that picture of Xena again. (I am NOT a dirty old man. I prefer "sexy senior citizen".) Later

They've also sued the Astronomers Guild for unauthorized use of the name "Dwarves."

I'd like to see Lucy Lawless go medieval on the International Astronomical Union's collective asses.

i'm personally dissatisfied with the ruling. the definition of planet vs. dwarf planet is pretty wishywashy, imo. i'd prefer somehting like "significantly larger than the rest of the stuff in the same orbit" to make it a planet, and "surrounded by other, similarly-sized stuff" for a dwarf planet, which i would just call "planetoid" instead, thereby indicating that it is clearly NOT A planet, but just kinda like a planet.
