"Pluto is still a planet"
#4
Okay, so I had some faulty recollection there. I could have sworn that Ceres was somewhere around Pluto's size. To Google!

(And it does seem like a scumbag judgement, coming up with the whole "dwarf planet" classification. It's not like astronomers have always recognized nine planets in our solar system; the ancient Romans didn't know that the planets beyond Saturn even existed (unless my recollection's being faulty again). So we started off with six recognized planets in our solar system, then seven, then eight, then nine...so exactly how and why would adding a tenth or eleventh planet have been such a horrible thing?)

And I look forward to your "Ceres is still an asteroid" signature, P. :P
