The Ousider

Pluto is out!
That's right, today Pluto got the olde heave hoe from the Galaxy. As an added insult, it has been down graded to a "dwarf planet". Its now the Mini-me of planets. Don't ask me about the scientific explantation, but because Pluto's orbit overlaps with Neptune, its now a "minor planet". Damn that Neptune.

Personally, I feel bad for Pluto. Of course growing up we all were taught that Pluto was the 9th planet, in fact I think I remember doing a report on Pluto for some class in public school. I picked it because it was the smallest of the planets and I thought the most interesting since very little was known about it.
