the answer for everything... mike, a friend at work, suggests that any planet that gets demoted should be exploded... as there really isn't a point for it to exist anymore XD

Funny you put the 'he's a dog' choice on.

When I was young, I knew the last planet was a disney dog, but kept calling it Goofy by mistake ^^;

Science is screwing with tradition. That's the main issue as I see it.

Wow, the ancient Greeks are going to be ticked!

Yeah, and wait till it messes up those horoscopes and everything else that relied on nine planets :(.

In all seriousness, they should just call it a planet again, and then say that pluto is the only exception to the rule, and all others will be classified as these "Drawf Planets"

I say no just for sentimental reasons - I mean, I grew up learning we had 9 planets. And in, like, 2 days they're just like "Oh, its not anymore. My bad". Its a bit quick and confusing.
I realize the reasons why it was yanked from the list, but it's still aggravating to see it happen.

I completly agree. I think they should just label Pluto as an "honorary" planet. It's aggravating and a little sad. Pluto is like the underdog of the solar system, fatherest out, smallest, and now they punt it. Who knows mabye public support for Pluto may make the astronomers think twice... I've seen stranger things happen.
