Sun: These planets of mine are so competitive! They each claim to be the best. Sun: Jupiter boasts about being more massive than all the others combined. Sun: With his flashy "ice" jewelry, Saturn thinks he has the most style. Sun: And Mercury says he's the most politically powerful because he's "in the inner circle". Star: Pluto seems aloof...is he still sulking about being demoted from a planet? Sun: No, he was like that before---he's always been pretty distant.

Pluto’s wondering why Goofy talks and wears clothes like a human while he still has to act like a dog.

I would guess the scientists of the International Astronomical Union agreed on reclassifying Pluto as a Kuiper Belt object.Anyway, Mercury can also boast the longest day. And Venus can boast the hottest temps. Earth can say it’s home to life. Though any level of intelligent life is yet to be seen.

Personally, I think of Pluto as still a planet and the new planet they discovered, whatever that is, is the tenth planet. That’s my opinion on the matter.

Ah, but would God believe you existed if you had to talk to him today?

The problem was that there were too many minor planets being found—do we really want a system with dozens or hundreds of planets? By making the outer ones, including Pluto, dwarf planets, we can make a useful distinction and keep a double handful of “real” planets.
Seems to me that a while back, Ceres was demoted with much less fanfare. ANd sooner after its discovery.

No, sometimes pluto is closer than uranus.
