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

Yes, tommyrot, that's EXACTLY what i mean.

We keep on discovering stuff beyond Pluto?

Basically. There are kuiper belt objects being found that are larger than Pluto. So if Pluto (also a kuiper belt object) is a planet, these objects pretty much have to be planets too. The problem is there there are likely a whole bunch of these things.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

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.

If I listened to the man on PBS correctly, this is pretty much what has happened. There are now 12 planets.

But it just doesn't matter. So why do it?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

but if I don't acclimate quickly krav is in jeopardy.

Will nobody think of the kravvers?!

ita needs a migraine stopping superhero. Maybe after their powers have been tested thoroughly on ita and her head doesn't explode we could loan the superhero to Betsy.

I bet Green Lantern could stop a migraine.

The Pluto issue is a lot like what happend with Ceres (the largest asteroid). When Ceres was discovered it was labeled a planet for a couple of years, but then more and more asteroids were discovered and Ceres was decided to be part of the asteroid belt and lost its planet label.

The IAU mtg is in Prague this year and that there is really good beer there might be another part of the explanation. You know what happens when beer is involved.

First they take away the brontosaurus. Now it's Pluto. What next? Are they going to repeal gravity? The scientists must be stopped!

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

Scientists start putting stuff in liquid nitrogen?
