After only 76 years planet Pluto is history.

One down and eight to go . . . ?

I have read that if it was discovered today then it would never have been classed as a planet.

Does it matter whether we call it a planet or not?
It's still gonna be floating around in space no matter what we little creatures on another rock millions of miles away decide to call it. And it still be there long after we've gone.

I'm fuming. This is a blatant infringement for the human rights of inhabitiants of Pluto. How can these Daily Mail reading astronomers just decide to not regard Pluto as a planet anymore? George Bush and Tony Blair think they can go around the universe doing whatever they please and sod the consequenses.

I think we should immediately offer asylum to all inhabitants of Pluto who wish to be part of a real planet seeing as we have 'disenfranchised' theirs.
