And, how is it that Earth can tell another planet that they're not a planet any more? Seems sort of, I don't know, presumptious?

If it's any consolation, one of saturn's moons is bigger than mercury and it is not considered a planet. Pluto lost planet status earlier than this year.

Buzz,
Isn't this where you would tell Pluto that the decision has been made, it's final, quit whining and get over it?

Maybe Pluto will just vote themselves in another union, and refuse to accept the decision of the intergalactic gods that have deemed them unworthy of planet status...

No, this is where Carl, Nosmo, and others irresponsibly dredge up rumor, dress it up as fact, and attempt to drive a wedge between Pluto and the rest of the galaxy.....

Well, I did hear it was Moak that caused Pluto to lose planet status.

Heard that from a friend who is part of a super secret DAL program to sneak around taking pictures of commuters out playing golf after they've called in sick...
