chilly

are you aware of the current controversy about whether pluto should be stripped of its "planet status"? what are your thoughts?

talk amongst yourselves. i'm going to guleph.

these open doors

...............................................................................

ok, let me go first...
i have always considered pluto my favourite planet. if you were to ask me "les, what's your favourite planet?" i would say pluto without hesitation. this is probably because it always seemed like the odd one out. the little weirdo planet that couldn't. seriously, it's so mysterious, being the only rock planet on the far side of all the gas planets. this being said, i DO agree with the side arguing that it should no longer be considered a planet. i have no nostaligic feelings swaying me towards keeping it a planet, it seems pretty obviously they were wrong to classify it as a planet in the first place. i'm not one to say "oh come on, just let it be a planet. its always been one. lets not change the rules of the universe".

so basically, that's how i would cast my vote if there was a vote on such things.

i'm late, i know. i was busy compromising my morals with a trip to the US of A. not only that, but to the capital of above.

only for a good friend.

what i think is this - someone should ask pluto. who are we to decide the essence of pluto? perhaps it is unique among planets. that's what i think. besides, aren't the other planets just rocks with heartburn and athlete's foot?

i've been on the road since 10 am. you be coherent.

silly beckie... pluto can't talk!

I'm much more concerned about Pluto the dog. I don't really care about the planet. That might say more about me than it does about the planet.

yelsel said...

bob, you realize pluto the dog isn't real right? well, actually, how do i know that pluto the "planet" is real? i suppose in a way they're equally as real and equally fictional.

devious said...

so deep yelsel. i think pluto is a rock. but i am willing to let it be a planet if that's what it wants.

*ya-awn*

i had so much coffee this weekend that my hands are still shaking. why does it have to be so good?
