absolutely not. it does not fit within the defined perimeters for a planet.

10/4/2014 5:55:43 PM

according to people at harvard it does now

10/4/2014 6:03:07 PM

nope

10/4/2014 6:17:22 PM

nope

Pluto's micro-penis keeps it from being a planet.

10/4/2014 6:57:20 PM

Well, I guess that answers that...or not.

If pluto is a planet, a bunch of other things are going to have to be added as well, starting with Eris.

pluto will always be a planet, in my heart.

Pluto will head to the polls for a referendum on this issue in November. its residents will face a simple question. "Should Pluto be a planet?"

^^NASA isn't the organization that declassified Pluto.


Sidenote: Pluto is NOT a planet but it is a dwarf planet, right? Seems to be like a dwarf planet is just a more specific type of planet. How inconsistent.

Alright, alright,
Mickey's a mouse,
Donald's a duck,
Pluto's a dog.
What's Goofy?

10/6/2014 12:41:45 PM

a sentient dog

^^^a dwarf planet has many but not all characteristics of a planet; for example, Pluto has not cleared out the neighborhood of its orbit

Asteroids can be called "minor planets". It's not just about being a planet, it's about the elite status.

I don't think that the "dwarf" or "minor" adjectives are particularly flattering either.

If our language was developed by a race living on one of the gas giants, it's likely that Earth and the other rockies would be called "girly planets".

you just basically said an alien species is the same as a different race which is racist.

also, i'm not sure a gas giant could every sustain complex chemistry so definitely not life.

"Race" can be used to mean "different fictional humanoid species," as is frequently done in fantasy games/novels.

I get what you're saying, but I feel like you're being closed-minded about the potential forms that life might take.

Personally, I think it's possible that the sun, and indeed whole galaxies, are alive.

v A star is born...it dies..it eats...some stars even reproduce. I think it's possible that stars are conscious. Nobody has any fucking clue what consciousness is, anyway.

No joke guys. If we don't pay attention to the emotional needs of our sun, the solar system is going to be in for a rude surprise.
