I know why Pluto is no longer a planet! They want to make every astronomy textbook outdated! If that is indeed the case, I must say that it was a heck of a prank.

Why wasn't Neptune disqualified???

Neptune has a fairly normal orbit along the ecliptic. Pluto's orbit is significantly tilted and has a bit more of a difference between its aphelion and perihelion (it's more elliptical than the other planets). Its perihelion (where it is closest to the sun) is closer to the sun than Neptune's semimajor axis, and it is therefore within Neptune's orbit for a certain length of its year. This is similar to the orbits of comets.

Just a little extra to add, I believe that the tilt of Pluto's orbit makes it impossible for a collision between the two planets, err... objects. Sorry Goto, we'll need to find another way to set things right in the cosmos.

Awww... Back to the drawing board I guess.

What about hollowing Pluto out and turning it into a Death Star?

Come to think of it they re-classify pluto every few years...its not that big whatever it is. So I think we can kill a few birds with one stone here...We should luanch all our nukes at pluto and its satillites.


This will accomplish the following:

- It will not even a factor, and we remain blissfuly ignorant in the belief that we have everything figiured out.

- We take out some agression, and sooth our trigger fingers.

- It will get rid of an excessive number of nuclear weapons.


It won't be very hard, if we let him color in the diagrams, bush will most likely go for it.
