  You should try going to a strip club some time. There are usually some heavenly bodies there.

  Pluto was a planet.
  
  Then not a planet.
  
  Then a planet again. (Maybe?)
  
  It changes its mind more than a 20 year old stripper.

  Actually, 4got, Pluto is inside the orbit of Neptune right now, so it's not really on the edge of the solar system.. ;-)
  
  However, you are correct that it will be a really neat show, and for me it will be must see TV.
  
  And I don't understand why it's not a planet if it has at least one moon (Charon). Heck, Mercury and Venus don't even have one!

  It has more moons than that.. Pluto is a planet dammit!

  Aren't they considering Pluto and Charon more of a binary dwarf-planet system now, with something like four or five moons (including Charon)? And, IIRC, one of the qualifications to be considered a planet is that a planet has to clear its orbital path of leftover debris (not counting trojan asteroids); Pluto apparently hasn't done that.

  PhantomGeek, yes, there are four moons in addition to Charon! See this brilliant video!

  Shadowcat, I did say "OT" for this thread! I like strip clubs but I have other interests too! ;)

  Judging by your brilliant reviews, you sure had me fooled.
