poor pluto

looking like maybe pluto will get to keep it’s planetary status. and we might even get three new planets — called “plutons” — including Xena & Charon. scientists in prague are voting on it over the next couple of weeks and it looks like they think it’s a good idea.

but not me. i say we should throw pluto off the planetary bus. always seemed sort of cold to me. it’s no neptune, i’ll tell you that much.

    whether we vote on them or not, aren’t they whatever they are anyway? if they vote that they are planets, how does that change their essence?

    who knew? I made a snarky comment about the planets to one of my colleagues who teaches astrology and she let me know that they take this pretty seriously. She must be one of those weird signs with Pluto rising or something.
