Pluto has been stripped of its planet status. All you’ve been taught in your youth has been rendered invalid by cold-hearted astronomers.
I demand vengeance!
Vengeance for Pluto!
…Even though it is quite small!
Who’s with me?

This is way TOO easy…
Great pickup line to a babe at the bar…
Hey did you hear that Pluto as a planet is gone?
Uranus is next…
I love Pluto, also Mickie, Minnie and Goofy–
I say we start riots, attack the Danish Embassy and set half of Paris ablaze! We will show those good-for-nothing astro — uh, excuse me —
What? Can’t you see I’m ranting? Huh? They did? Months ago? Cartoons, you say?
Sorry about that.
Never Mind.
Bah! Capitalist swine! We will continue to hold Pluto until our demands are met! You will withdraw all UN peace keepers from Earth at once and have them fall back to Mercury. Once this is done, we will release your pitiful Pluto and your solar system will once again be a peaceful, happy place.
Well, except for those charred bits on Mercury.
If we do not stand for Pluto now, we will only encourage those dastardly astronomers to change other rules. Perhaps they will announce the moon is really cheese, or start a campaign to reinstate astrology as a religion.
I’m with you Frank!
Pluto Forever The pneumonics will be all wrong
My very educated mother just served us nine pizzas
Take out the Pizzas and kids are left in suspense, what did she serve them? For Goodness sake THINK OF THE CHILDREN you $#%$%$#* astronomers THINK OF THE CHILDREN.
We’ll just change it to “My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us NIN.”
And then the teacher can go on how awesome the Nine Inch Nails are.
Foolish Humans! We use your outermost planet as a staging base for our impending Space Muslim invasion of your planet, and how do you counter? By declaring it’s not even a planet! This will not save you from your fate! Soon, we will come to your world in full force! We will crush you under out mighty space turbans, and force you to eat hummas and pray to the plannet Mecca! You will live with the monkeys for your blasphemy!
First, they came for Pluto, I said nothing for I was not a Plutonian.
Where will it end?
First they came for the IMAO podcast, now Pluto…..what is next!
They may be coming for Robert next.
The problem is, this decision also affects Xena.
Now there’s a planet you do not want to piss off.
Frank, I suggest we kidnap several planets and hold them hostage until Pluto’s status is changed back. We can call ourselves the Planetary Jihad Brigade and have a Death Star hover ominously close to the kidnapped plants in a threatening way.
Plants, planets, whatever you prefer. Which is nice.
NUKE PLUTO!!!!! Make sure no one confuses it for a planet again!!
Frank J,
I am not afraid of Pluto losing its planet status and I live near Uranus.
Are you afraid that if Pluto really isn’t a planet that your precious manhood is somehow diminished?
Just like you to call for violence when you don’t get your way. Maybe you want Bush to declare war on the astronomers.
By the way you facist, Pluto doesn’t even have any oil to steal unlike Iraq where your friend Bush has failed to stop terrorism.

MFL,
I am glad you are back to hailing Cthulhu instead of Carter. You had me worried for awhile.
Well, as mildly interesting as this news is, I don’t think I’ll really miss Pluto as a planet. I do wish that rather than reclassifying it, we had simply destroyed it as a show of U.S. military might. This might even be a viable alternative to the Nuke the Moon campaign. We’re still using the moon for some things, but what has Pluto ever done for us? I say pulverize it, and then point a finger threateningly at the terrorists.
I agree with the nuking idea; nuking ends pointless debate.
That’s why we should nuke the rainforests.
That’s no planet. That’s a space station!
“I am not afraid of Pluto losing its planet status and I live near Uranus.” was that a Frank J add on?
won’t nuking Pluto mess up my horoscope?
Pluto is overrated anyway. Sure, Mickey’s lovable pet is named after the planet. But what about the “Adventures of Pluto Nash,” the worst movie ever? Pluto has done enough damage, I say.
According to this the Pope fired his astronomer because of disagreements over evolution.
But we all know that he’s really angry about Pluto.
How do I know?
Although the Vatican did not give reasons for Father Coyne’s replacement
So it’s just speculation. It’s obviously much more likely that he’s upset over the Pluto thing.
Let that be a lesson to the rest of them, the Pope’s out to get them.
We need to take Pluto and smash it into the Moon – kill two planets with one stone!
Heh, scientists can’t even make up their minds on whether Pluto really is a planet or not, but we’re to trust them that they have the whole “Big Bang” theory worked out?
And people still take them seriously…
“Who’s with me?”
pff, not me. I’m goin’ shooting.
right after I post my name…Duh.
How about ending the oppression of Ceres first.
I blame ninjas.
Writer-
I never stopped hailing Chthulhu, you just had your MFL confused. But I guess we all look alike to you racist wingnuts.
We are not a singular echo chamber like you rethuglican jerks.
We are moonbats hear us roar,
In numbers too big too ignore.
USSJimmyCarter –
Why does it amuse you that I live near Uranus?
Everyone was always telling me that my head was up there.
I went to take a look and found that everything suddenly made sense if it was coming from Uranus so I moved there.
All liberal thought comes directly from Uranus

What the hell will my very elegant mother just sit upon? Can someone tell me that?
What’s with the mnemonic device proliferation?
I’ve heard:
My very educated mother just served us nine pizzas.
My very egotistical mother just served us nine pizzas.
And now, my very elegant mother just sit upon….
I’m not even sure I want to see what the N.P. initials stand for in that last one; it sounds dirty. 😉 Anyway, this should be the next task: getting all astronomers to agree on a common mnemonic device.
El Santo,
~ sigh ~
N.P. is “nine pins.” — or was. Thank you stupid astronomers for failing to get it right in the first place.
I learned this mnemonic in Catholic school. Can you now imagine what happens when an elegant lady accidently sits upon pins? She tries not to make a scene. Her eyes are welling up and her face is bright red. She is trying to hold back a very forceful exclamation like “for heaven’s sake” or “mercy maud.”
But now without Pluto who knows what will happen? Sure you could say “my very elegant/educated/etc. mother just sat upon/ served us NOTHING,” but who will remember it.
Nachos! She served us nachos!
Shouldn’t Monkey Faced Liberal be hyphenated?
El Santo, my kids learned it as: my very eager mother just served us nine pickles.
When I was younger, we just learned the names of the planets.
Pluto …hmmmmm they say its not the size that matters its how you orbit !!!!
White Knight
NUKE PLUTO!!!!! Make sure no one confuses it for a planet again!!
Nonsense. We should nuke all the other planets until they’re all the size of Pluto. That way they’ll HAVE to call it a planet.
I’m liking the “…just served us nachos” as a good alternative. But that’s a bit biased on my part; nachos are a staple source of nourishment to me.
friggin plutophobes.
I met the discoverer of Pluto when I was twelve, and he’s from a couple hours from where I’m from, so this totally sucks in a number of ways. Pluto has three moons, maybe more, an atmosphere, maybe a ring, and it’s moon seems to have formed the same way ours did. Ceres is 25 percent of the mass of the whole asteroid belt and has ice. If “sweeps up all the stuff in its orbit” qualifies it as a planet, then there are no planets. Even Jupiter has co-orbiting asteroids. Lots of them. And theoretically there could be other Plutos the size of Mars, so are those not planets?
As for Pluto being near Uranus, see the dog picture Frank posted on the later post. Says it all.
Pluto – nosing around Uranus for 4.5 billion years.
