Apparently I missed the memo two days ago that Pluto is no longer a planet.
It has been demoted to the status of "trans-Neptunian object" or a "dwarf planet" in nickname but it's not a planet anymore.
Why would they wanna go around screwing with the conventions that we have already established? It takes me forever to remember that I've added a number to my own age every birthday, and now they're expecting me to try and re-remember that there's only 8 planets? Screw them.
I'm starting a petition. The "Keep Pluto a Planet" petition. More to come on this topic.
