Poor Pluto
August 24, 2006: The International Astronomical Union strips Pluto of its planetary status. The group says a planet must, among other things, have "cleared the neighborhood around its orbit." Because Pluto's orbit overlaps Neptune's, Pluto is out. The celestial body formerly known as the ninth planet will be reclassified as a "dwarf planet."
Boo. Hisss.
Also - here's a link to An Ode to Pluto, Upon Its Demotion From Planethood by Dylan Meconis
beautiful.
Also - Has anyone else out there heard the story about Rats and The Pope, I wonder? Story - some place or other petitionins the pope to designate them (the rats) to be "fish" so they could be eaten? (specifically, on Fridays)
'Cause I'd heard it before. And just found a song about it. But can't find any mention of it anywhere else online. (except that songs lyrics, dang it!). Ah well, mebbe It's A Lie
