BONSAI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't think I mentioned that I read Mike Brown's How I Killed Pluto and Why It Had It Coming earlier this month in any of my previous entries, but I saw a few of you guys add it to your to-read lists over on GoodReads after I posted my review, so I thought this article might be of interest:
Pass Out the Cigars! Pluto Is a Papa
And this is the part I love...
Showalter, on the other hand, doesn't think it matters what you call Pluto. "I don't see 'dwarf planet' as a demotion," he says. "Think of bonsai trees. The fact that they're so small is what makes them interesting. So if you don't like the term 'dwarf planet,' just think of Pluto as a bonsai planet."
