Bye Bye Pluto

I have only been casually following this story about Pluto's planetary status for a little while. It just seems funny more than anything else.

So for those of you needing to catch up
CNN's story
AP Wire story
BBC Story
MSNBC Story
Slashdot discussion on it

There are several other venues I have been reading about this, but more for the fact that the other way they were gonna go with it was to increase the solar system to 12 planets. So now when trying to act smart I can drop off Pluto from planets in the solar system. Damn trivial knowledge. Oh well it does open a whole new world for dwarf planet catergoies in triva games.

So long Pluto and welcome Xeno (2003 UB313) and Ceres into the dwarf grouping.
