Default Save Pluto!





Pluto has been debased it would seem to some people. Beating up on the little ice ball has created a few save pluto groups!

Oh and it is not the size of the planet that matters but the motion of the solar system.

OK for how many years now we have had it drilled into our heads that we have 9 planets in our solar system, and now they want to change it on us. So that means they are going to have to rewrite all of the science books that are in our schools now. (yeah like that will happen any time soon)

Mickey Mouse is at his lawyers:-

Lawyer: "Mickey, I have looked at all the angles, and I'm afraid there is no way we can file for divorce against Minne on the grounds of insanity".

Mickey: "Hey I never said she was insane, I aid she was fcuking Goofey!"

Bur on a serious note people, we now have 'planitesimals' in our solars system that are actually on a par or bigger than Pluto:
