Some people say that Pluto isn't really a planet. Just a largish asteroid. Poor little ball of ice and rock. Why must people disrespect your planetary status? <!--emo&:'(--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ns/Cry.png' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='Cry.png' /><!--endemo-->

I say we discover another planet so we can have ten. I'm all for nice round numbers.

[Gizensha]

What? 3^2 isn't round enough for you? <!--emo&:blink:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /blink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='blink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

You're thinking of Rupert, the planet named after an astronomer's dog <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... s/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Not a planet. The astronomer who discovered it, if it's the one I think it is, is trying to get the public believing it to be a planet in protest at the astronomic people's obsession over classifying things.
