Okay, it's still a dwarf planet, but at least it's back in there.  There's two new dwarf planets in the mix too.  I particularly like Eris, named for the Greek goddess of discord, with its moon Dysnomia.  Must be a freaky little dwarf planet.  Or make that big dwarf planet (it's bigger than Pluto and Ceres).  The wikipedia entry on these newly classified dwarf planets is pretty funny.
