If you haven't yet seen the latest pics of Pluto being sent back by the New Horizons probe you really need to take a look!

Are they going to let it be a planet again?

Pluto doesn't care one way or the other.

Excellent link Conrad! Thank you!

And GP, Pluto is a planet, a dwarf planet but still a planet.

And BTW, it is that no good Ceres that caused all the trouble. Ceres was jealous that Pluto was a planet and it wasn't. I vote we downgrade Ceres to "oversized asteroid" and promote Pluto back to planet just to instill some discipline in these puny objects.  ;)

Do you know why the Starship Enterprise is like a roll of toilet paper? 

They both circle Uranus and capture Klingons.

Other than that, yeah the Pluto pics are "fascinating" as Spock would say. 

I'm still looking for the entrance hatch, since it isn't really a planet, as you know, it's a big space station put there to warn the Ancients that we are getting uppity.  Expect retribution soon.

Yep! Someone needs to put those heavenly bodies in their places!
