[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] Yep. Pluto was called a planet because they thought it was unique. Now it's obviously not unique. But now, astronomers seem to be going in the opposite direction. I have to say I'm disappointed and annoyed, but not surprised, to see the IAU trying to keep Pluto's status as a planet. I'm just really shocked they want to consider Ceres a planet again, too. That's just crazy talk! My dad asked an interesting rhetorical question as an analogy for this issue: "Just what marks the difference between a child and an adult?" Also, to all those nutcases who want to keep Pluto as a planet because it's the only planet discovered by an American, I'd like to point out that Oog the Caveman, who lived in the vicinity of Nome, Alaska, was actually the first to notice the planet we now call Mars. Except that he called it Oogaboog. [/QB][/QUOTE]
