Pluto: The Unplanet

So Pluto is no longer a planet in out solar system: News Article

Was it worth declassifying it? All books throughout history that taught us Pluto was the 9th planet in our solar system are now wrong. Our teachers were wrong, our astronomers were wrong, everyone was wrong. Or were they?

Maybe this whole Pluto thing is going to be like the incredible edible egg ordeal. You know how that went, first it was good for you, then it was bad for you, then it was good for you again, then it was bad for you again, etc. The debate just kept going on and on and on like the pink battery-powered bunny with the drum.

Does it really matter how we define it? It's still what is and always has been. We call the tomato a vegetable when it's actually a fruit, we call the peanut a nut and it isn't, and neither is the cashew. But in the grand scheme of things, they are still what they are no matter what we call them.

What's next, the moon isn't actually made of green cheese?
