Astrologers won't mind that Plutos been downgraded. I know of some who work with the larger asteroids. I like astrology, it gives me a chance to be horrible to someone and say, "Sorry, that's my Aries ascending coming out."
Buffy: I was regrouping. Spike: You were about to be regrouped into separate piles.

There's a funny headline about astrologers and Scorpios having issues with the whole Pluto thing.
I heard two cops talking about that in the convenience store this morning. Funny.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
History of plutonium: [link]
Plutonium was first produced and isolated on February 23, 1941 by Dr. Glenn T. Seaborg, Edwin M. McMillan, J. W. Kennedy, and A. C. Wahl by deuteron bombardment of uranium in the 60-inch cyclotron at Berkeley. The discovery was kept secret due to the war. It was named after the then planet Pluto (now dwarf planet), having been discovered directly after neptunium (which itself was one higher on the periodic table than uranium), by analogy with the ordering of the planets in the solar system (though technically it should have been "plutium", Seaborg said that he didn't think it sounded as good as "plutonium"). Seaborg chose the letters "Pu" as a joke, which passed without notice into the periodic table.
Heh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
PS: Tom Scola, I heart your tagline.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Spam's kosher?

Oh, Kathy. I'm so sorry. August is off the statistical charts with the bad stuff.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I'm sorry, Kathy.
