Picture 1-9

Pluto is no longer a planet apparently.

Except, It’s not that it is no longer a planet, as in it used to exist and now it has exploded into tiny pieces. It’s that it never was a planet. It’s more like a moon.

So, for now, membership will be restricted to the eight “classical” planets in the solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

This really messes up everything I learned in elementary school. Remember that poem (or one like it):

“My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas.”

Well now the pizza isn’t a food group anymore. We need a new poem here folks:

“My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us N__________?”

Help Please: Grade Schools all across America are looking for a catchy word that starts with “N”

U P D A T E : Fox News said the new poem is “My Very Educated Mother Just Sent Us Nachos.” Also, scientists have been getting complaint letters from elementary school kids about taking Pluto off the planet roster.

U P D A T E 2 : Find out how people have been responding here. This is hilarious. Thanks Tom.

    You need to go WAY back to MY era — Many very eminent men just sleep until noon (period) Now you don’t need the (period) and it still makes sense. May pluto rest in peace. By the way, do you think it makes much difference to Pluto what in Sam Hill we earthlings call it?

    Tom- that only works assuming we know what eminent means…

    I actually heard a scientist on the radio say he has received a lot of hate mail from elementary school kids about voting Pluto out of the planetary family.

I knew nothing about it …I mean Pluto being demolished …just desentigrating- I’m sixty and I have been here a while …hey ….I remember being taught about the solar system as a child in school(beleive it or not) and how awesome the universe was ….You know >>> God hung the Earth on nothing >>> with His Word… and just didn’t even fathem there ever being a change like this … and people are just taking it like it was a little old freckle >>> fading on their toe. HEY PEOPLE!!!! Maybe God is TRYING TO GET OUR ATTENTION!!! ..THAT THINGS ARE DEFINATELY CHANGING HERE!!!…. or maybe the global warming (HA!) confessions about things changing caused a planet that had been in the sky since time began to just desentigrate… YEA RIGHT! GLABAL WARMING!
    WOW…Pluto is not a Disney character!!!Is that not a “REVELATION’S > SIGN IN THE HEAVENS”? When that song came out >>>”Doesn’t Anybody Ever Stay Together Anymore” … I thought… How touchingly >> so the truth… WOW…A PLANET…is this soooooooo PROFOUND ???What about doesn’t anybody care or pay attention anymore????
    Kind of like the days of Noah,Huh? WOW….Things just are never going to be the same any more ….
