Pluto is not a planet, get over it!

Since this blog is called "Sr. Space Monkey", I might as well have some space news, right?

So, I came across pleasesavepluto.org today. They are starting a petition to get the IAU to reconsider their decision. Each signer can leave a "comment". There are nearly zero intellegent comments... but tons of funny ones.. These people are crazy.

Here are some good ones... read the rest at pleasesavepluto.org!

  I am compelled not to let a mere 5 % of the worlds astronomers decide what I have learned as fact.

  Maybe we should change the name of the International Astronomical Union (IAU) to IDIOTS AMONG US. No scientific reason for this at all. Not to mention the cost associated with rewriting text books. All because some group of worms wanted to go down in history. Oh, believe me, you’re going down in history…as the group of 424 astronomers who needed to feel important and were overturned by public outcry.

  You mean to tell me the quorum for a decision this big is only 5 percent of the Professional Astronomers?

  You shouldn’t call yourselves Astronomers; you should be called Asscucumbers.

  What did Pluto ever do to you? It is a historically significant discovery and as such deserves recognition in it’s original form…A PLANET!
