You say planet, I say dwarf planet
While I am firmly in favor of lumping Pluto with the soon-to-be more than 50 confirmed similar outer solar system objects, I found this hysterically funny.
On a related note, a poll:
[Poll #806720]
I loved Land of the Lost when I was young and felt sad when I learned that there is no such thing as a Brontosaurus. So I can sympathize with those who think Pluto should still be considered a regular planet. But the planet/dwarf planet distinction makes a lot more sense in light of what we are still learning about the solar system.
