Either I have a fan, or this is attempted threadslaughter!

Pluto is no longer considered a planet, though. I was demoted to 'big hunk of frozen space dirt' a few years back, remember?

 

[Scott DeWar]

Well, they will soon see they are wrong!

 

[Leif]

The planetary scientists think they are the authorities on the question. I'm thinking that the only way they would see that they are wrong is if they got a visit or a radio signal from "little green Plutonians."

Or maybe when the New Horizons craft passes by it early Wednesday, they will see it has all the attributes of a planet?

by the way, I m going to try and expose a conspiracy here:

One of the attributes of a "planet" is "has cleared the neighborhood of its orbit". It is already known that Pluto hasn't cleared its neighborhood, and the information from New Horizons won't change that.

 

[Leif]

Why could there not be two planets diametrically opposed in the same orbit? Neither of them would have "cleared" the neighborhood of their orbits, yet for all practical puposes they would be alone in their orbits. One of them would almost have to be artificial, if not both of them.
