		Now the astronomers might go back to a 8-planet solar system, removing Pluto from the list of planets.  We'll see what happens...

		They removed Pluto's planet status. By the new definition of 'planet' we have only 8 planets in the solar system. 
	Good decision, methinks.  |

		Isn't Pluto now classed as a planetlet or something? 
	I like Pluto too, Narf. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif  |

		I think we just need to use a tectonic bomb on Pluto and Charon, so there is no more issue!

		It's classified as a "Dwarf Planet". 
	Seems stupid to me to call something a dwarf planet, not a planet. Semantics.  |
