When I was your age, Pluto was a planet.

Your mom's a planet.... that's right... what? I said it. She fits the criteria.

 

[Keef]

No, Jj, you make no sense. You said the defintion of the word "planet" is "pluto". So how can Earth be a planet? Earth is clearly not Pluto. Your argument is fleeting...

I wonder what Pluto's neighbor, Uranus, has to say about all this. I want to talk to Uranus immediately.

You're right.

Your argument is fleeting...

I thought that started a few pages ago...

 

[Thiele]

So Jj, what do you propose? 11-12 planets? Or 8? Because 9 is right out.

it's either 8, or a billion

I say 9. Final answer.

okay, that is not right

I must say, my feelings are hurt.

I was officially discovered back in 1930 (Earth year) by a very nice guy by the name of Clyde Tombaugh. A sweet little 11-year old girl by the name of Venetia Burney gave me my name.

I've been in the minds of generations of you humans. Each and every one of you grew up with the understanding that I was a planet in your solar system. This Earth of yours has now said you have only 8. I'm now a "dwarf" planet. A "dwarf" is a short, stocky humanoid creature. I'm not that at all. I don't have an argument that would be suitable for you humans. Your scientific studies have now ousted me from your minds and hearts. I'm a cold and icy planet, somewhere around -400 degrees fahrenheit. You all only make me feel colder. Well, Jjacks doesn't.

Despite your "scientific" studies, I'm a planet in your solar system. I've been around these parts before any of your parents parents parents parents x10 to the millionth power were even thought of. I'm bigger and so I win.

Stop being mean to me, I'm a planet for crying out loud.

i'm sure you are, jjacks

anything beyond the orbit of Neptune is NOT a planet

i'll say it one last time, Pluto is NOT a planet

 

[Matt R]

i'm sure you are, jjacks

Good detective work, lthiele. Pat yourself on the back.

Well, I haven't talked with Uranus yet. How long does it take a guy to wash up a little?
