quote [ “It’s bullshit,” Alan Stern, principle investigator of NASA’s New Horizons mission to Pluto, has said about the demotion of Pluto from the ranks of official planet status. Now Stern is heading up a team of NASA scientists who have proposed a new definition of planets that would do more than just reinstate the icy dwarf planet with the big heart to its former glory. ]

Was that some sort of Icy Heart/Frozen™ reference?

Reporting on Pluto only encourages the astronomers.

Astronomers - the most flighty and capricious branch of scientists.
... the astronomer who cried like a baby and said he'd been betrayed by every star he ever knew! |

This is just more anti pluto propaganda. Pluto doesn't need the IAU. The IAU needs Pluto. If not for Pluto and all the other celestial bodies then the IAU would be out of a job. They would not even exist. Who do they think they are going around and saying what is and is not a planet. Fuck them. They are a bunch of assholes anyway.

I honestly don't understand why people care. I just assume they are being ironic for shiggles, but its not that funny. It like a tag that says "Hi I'm so&so, I dont understand the concept of science." Maybe I'm just sick of the "lol science" crowd.

Pluto is still a planet.
Peter Dinklage is still human. |
