Interesting no? I always wondered, what is the rhyme now? My very eager mother just served us nine pizzas!

It most probably isn't an actual planet (the definition really seems way too simple) but I want it to be. In any case, my WTF moment from this article:
The governors of Illinois saw the decision as a snub to Pluto's discoverer, Clyde Tombaugh, who was born in the state.
Seriously?

Go Illinois!
We love our elected officials, and they never fail to serve us. Not all Illinois politicians are like Blagojevich, trust me =)

I'm happy to be from the only state that keeps Pluto a planet :D

Talk about being high on yourself. Illinois is on something else <_<

We talked about this in my Astronemy class a few months ago. Basically, according to my teacher, they put in a definition of a planet that excluded pluto because if they didn't then they would have to let a bunch of other planets be considered planets. Long story short, Astronomers are lazy and want only 8 planets instead of the many more they'd have to let in if they had a definition that included pluto.

Pluto was always the sexiest of the bunch!
