And another thing...

[uberreiniger]

Et Toute La Monde,

Everybody please stop getting worked up over Pluto not being a planet anymore. That's been coming on for years now. I mean look at the thing. It's the size of a Honda Accord and with a 248 year orbit, moves about as fast as one. Besides, we all know that the ability to destroy a planet is nothing compared to the power of the Force, so what's the big deal?

Agreed. What friggin' difference does it make? It's like...Can we move on to what's really important please!?

ugh...

true, true... not that relevant. Still, it leaves an empty space on my planetary-related life. A hole the size of Pluto, to be precise.

Now, I'll agree with you that the importance of my planetary-related life in my overall life is very small, tiny indeed... but between the news of the little girl who showed up after 8 years of slavery to some freak and the Pluto no-news my existence has been bombared by the unlikely in such a way that it's taking a while to stabilize ;)

Ahh... you always make me smile if not chuckle to myself. You did it again. I don't know why the comparison of Pluto and the Honda hit me so, but it's great.

You sir, have a way with words :)

But.. this TOTALLY screws up my horoscope for the next like, FOREVER!

Admittedly, it's not as screwed up as it would have been if they'd added another 1200 or so planets like they were threatening, but.. now I have NO idea how many boxes of the next Magic set to order..

=O! Pluto's not a planet any more?

I really need to get some basic television.

You don't want to piss Scorpios off. Taking away their ruling planet will anger the meanest, cruelest, most cold-hearted bitches and sons of bitches in the zodiac.

I think it's hillarious and Oh So Entertaining!
People who can't even name all nine eight nine/eight planets are upset! It's awesome! It's like they suddenly changed the name of ...StarTrek:TOS to PlanetariumHike ....or something.
*enjoys the explosions*

No doubt there are people who hear of Mercury and Saturn and then think that all the planets are named after cars.

[uberreiniger.livejournal.com]

They should have saved their anger for the fact that Pluto was ever their ruling planet in the first place, the most pathetic, tiniest, out-of-the-way, insignificant planet in the solar system.

What did Scorpios use for a ruling planet before Pluto was discovered in 1938 anyway?

[elvinborn.livejournal.com]

and they will probably be upset too! because then they'll never get to drive a car made by Pluto!

I just skimmed an article discussing how lots of scientists are furious and "the vote was hijacked!"

I'm serious. Since wen did real life get to be this awesome and filled with wankery? I never knew Pluto had a fandom!!
*amused*

Very fascinating, but the difficulties need to be examined. If the collision would necessitate massive amounts of elements in the moon that just aren't there, then that kind of brings Theia's party to an end really fast.

[uberreiniger.livejournal.com]

Yep. Since it couldn't walk in a non-eliptical orbit they revoked its planet liscence.

It's a good thing the people who choose planets don't run our schools or else we'd have 15,000 planets so that no celestial body would feel "excluded" and we could celebrate their "diversity."

Now I can say my way with words is like being hit by a Honda!

[uberreiniger.livejournal.com]

The twisted, sunken-chested geek who claims he killed JonBennet Ramsey must be feeling horribly upstaged right about now.

"the vote was hijacked!"

Let me guess, poor black astronomers were turned away at the polls and the voting telescopes were way too complicated to operate.

Mars, which isn't representitive of the Scorpio way. Mars is about more aggression and mayhem, Scorpios are too cool for that. They are evil and calculating, don't have time for anger that detonates.

[ksracxe.livejournal.com]

Not the Force ..the Schwarz! Get it right! :)

Hey back off Mars, now, we Aries are the true followers of aggression and chaos!
