Writer's Block: Planet's Rights

[ishte]

[Error: unknown template qotd] What? Of course it's a planet. It's always been a planet.  The whole global warming idiocy should prove easily enough that many scientists
 are morons however smart they are.  IT'S ALWAYS BEEN A PLANET.  Their say so does not change it's planet-ness after aeons of being a planet.  Sorry... What do they think it is? a giant asteroid?  Are they going to start calling the moons of Jupiter and Saturn "planets" now because they are BIGGER and ROUNDER? duh...

Xena is cool though with it's little moon Gabriella... she should be a planet too!  (Edit: unfortunately, when the official naming happened, that dwarf planet became Officially Eris and her orbital became Disnomia which is kind of a cute pairing too.  Apparently when the vote was taken though, Xena and Gabriella ranked fourth overall.)

I guess if they call it a dwarf planet, that's ok.. but As far as I'm concerned that is STILL a planet.

I agree with you. When I heard what the oh so brilliant (heavy on the sarcasm) scientists had done, I about flipped. WTF? OF COURSE IT'S A PLANET!!!
