How many of you guys are paying close attention to the Pluto space probe? Little 4got2usethepapers and I are going to be sitting on the couch watching images from the edge of the solar system on the 15th!
Pluto is brilliant! :)

You should try going to a strip club some time. There are usually some heavenly bodies there.
What @Shadowcat said.
Pluto was a planet.
Then not a planet.
Then a planet again. (Maybe?)
It changes its mind more than a 20 year old stripper.
Why are they probing Goofy's dog?
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!
And the T-Rex is king of the dinosaurs, no matter what they come up with
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! universetoday.com
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.
