Bye bye Pluto

[Skyryder]

Well fuck the cunts. Pluto is my ruling planet................I'm suing.

Bit like Jade Stadium. They can change the name but it will always be Lancaster Park.

Science is an ever-evolving process also GL.. only 500 years ago prior to the the Copernican theory ,the world was flat and at the center of the universe..

black holes, wormholes and dark matter are very recent discoveries..

is WARP drive far off ?

Supernova's... hehehe

Anyone else crack up when they see a group of geriatric rockers called supernova?

i dont watch any of those programs..lowest common denominator type shit..i tend to stick to Discovery and History channels for the most part.. or i read a book.. TV has taken a nosedive in the past 10 years


however.. Tommy Lee would fuck 50 cent up

Did anyone ask the Plutoians what they think of this?

Overnight, poor old Pluto has been stripped of its status as a planet when astronomers from around the world redefined it as a "dwarf planet",

Well, Finn will be pleased. He's got a little stumpy midget planet to call his own.

[Deano]

What has happened in the last decade or two has been the discovery of a vast number of Kuiper belt objects in a Trans Neptunian orbit around the Sun. Some of these objects are larger than Pluto.

It's life Jim but not as we know it, not as we know it, not as we know it.

We come in peace, shoot to kill...

[Motu]

He's dead Jim....

[James Deuce]

There's Klingons on the starboard bow

Better there than Uranus eh ?

Yes. My search for intelligence on planet earth has failed. After impregnating all the women (except the ugly ones) and drinking all the beer, my mission has drawn to a close.

Later morons.

[crashe]

Well thats buggered up all the science books...

What about the dude that named 'Pluto' as a planet....
He will now have come out of the history books as it aint a planet no more...
(yeah ok he is long dead, but still)

Ok for all you science and history buffs - who did name the not now known as planet 'pluto' ?????? And when (what year)

Oh well Goofy can have his wee mate back now...


(I have a glow in the dark model of the planets (stick on the wall or ceilings) that I was going to give to my grandaughter..... well now I cant as it is so out of date.) It is still in its box.. shall keep it as one day it may be worth dollars as a collectors item

1930. Percival Lowell.

His entry will be changed to "Discoverer of the first member of the dwarf planet class known as "plutons." These plutons inhabit the Trans-Neptunian area of Earth's Solar System and it is postulated that these types of bodies populate the extreme boundaries of many star systems."

I like that better myself.

. Pluto is my ruling planet.

I can't wait untill my ruling planet is discovered - I'm sick of sharing a planet with those pesky twins.

Vulcan....it's the logical choice,don't you agree Captain?

[Biff]

Justice IMO. It should never have been considered a planet. It's a block of freakin ice with a wonky orbit, and they're two a penny out past Jupiter way.

My understanding is that while modern astromanominers have indeed begun debating whether Pluto should be considered a planet at all, with increasing fervour, in the last decade- the actual debate began at the beginning of the 20th century, when telescopitomologists took photos of the Kuiper belt and identified a large(ish) chunk of ice, wibbling about in something resembling a predictable orbit (which probably didn't even originate from our solar system anyhoo). It was probably an arsesteroid.

When an amateur telescoptimistic guy made a song and dance about noticing this object again around 20 ish years later, some people got really excited insisting it was indeed an undiscovered planet. While many scientologists claimed it wasn't. It's only since the recent death of this telescoptimistic guy for people to begin this debate again.

Justice.

Vote Ixion.

[Virago]

But will the removal of Pluto affect the orbits of the other planets?
