Re: OT: Pluto Not A Planet!
What exactly is a darf planet and how will that relate to SEIV? Is it smaller than a tiny planet? Will we have to update all of the stellor files? Oh and poor Fyron, I fear an update for FQM and FQM D is needed now.
Darf Planets... ROTFLMAO

Science textbooks are always out of date by the time they are published anyway.

Re: OT: Pluto Not A Planet!
Well, Pluto being demoted I think is better than making Charon into a planet like they were proposing earlier.
Maybe oneday they'll discover another planet beyond Pluto and bring the total up to 9 again, though that's unlikely.

Ugh. Just ugh. God, I hope that one doesn't end up in textbooks or teaching material, parents everywhere would never hear the end of the giggles or the snickers.
