So glad I wasn't eating or drinking just now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Neil deGrasse Tyson on Colbert was basically like, if it's round, it's a planet now. Apparently.

I don't think Pluto can really be saved unless there is a definition that includes a special exemption for Pluto. If you have a definition where Pluto is a planet then there will probably be dozens of planets before long and there will be 8 major planets and all the minor planets.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

If enough pesto was sent to Pluto, it could become big enough to be a regular planet.

They totally should have left the planet defining alone. Everybody was doing just fine ignoring the elephant in the room and then some brilliant troublemaker decided to ask a bunch of astronomers for their opinions. And believe me, that rarely ends well.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I don't get why they're suddenly defining them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ugh. I've worked out the daze. Upped Neurontin dosage. I've only been mildly pre-migraine so far today, but if I don't acclimate quickly krav is in jeopardy.

We keep on discovering stuff beyond Pluto?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Well, a celestial object needs sufficient mass to pull itself into a round object, so only those rocks of big enough size end up being round. It's also thought that many of the objects beyond Neptune are mostly ice, and that if you melted them down, they'd be about the same size as many asteroids in the belt between Mars and Jupiter.
