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.
Time for some thrilling heroics.

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

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.

Ouch, Beth. But good that it's not broken...I think. I always hear that soft tissue is harder to heal than bone damage.
What do you have to do for it now? RICE?
