Good Bye Pluto

I had one of those Pluto the dog toys, where you pushed up on the bottom of his stand and he fell over. Rubber bands or string running up through his legs. You’ve seen those right? What are those called? What happened to those things?

Anyway, on a totally different subject. There are only 8 planets in our Solar system now. Think of all those solar system science fair mobiles. All one planet to many. Wouldn’t it be funny if everyone took Pluto and mailed it to The International Astronomical Union. That would be a gas. Right?

I know, I know it had to be done. I guess it’s better than adding Xena to the our list of planets. It’ll take them 12 years to update all those text books!
