ahah that video was really funny. Xena AKA lesbian.

So that planet they found a while ago called planet X is xena now?

and really how small is pluto.

Planet X is not UB313. And UB313 hasn't been officially named yet. Xena is just a nickname.

Although Pluto was discovered as a result of the search for Planet X, it is not considered Planet X. Nor is Kuiper Belt object 2003 UB313

Pluto is smaller than UB313 and Earth's Moon. And I think it's supposed to be about 18% of Earth..

^ Why should it be? Give us a valid reason.
And it hasn't always been a planet. It's been a planet since I think.. 1930.

The only strong arguement to keep Pluto as a planet is the sentimental one. If we make Pluto a planet, then we need to classify those other objects as planets. And you wouldn't want to have to memorize "My Very Eager Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizza Cars 2003 UB313 (Xena) AKA (Also Known As) Lesbian.


yup
it's okay pluto. i love you.

I have an easier way..
My Very Educated Mother Claire Just Served Us Nine Potatoes And Carrots UB313.
It'll be easier once they give 2003 UB313 a proper name..

Most teenagers who argue in favor of Pluto's planetary status do so at least partially in jest. So yeah, let's leave it up to those who actually care about science, shall we?

On a less relevant note...

Kryo and Nate, what happened to your signatures/avatars? It looks as if they were produced by a Chinatown Sanrio store.

It's semantics.

pluto could very well be a planet without adding the other three. It is in my book.

why? well, the simple fact that it is nessicary to define what a planet is makes it purely semantics.

There is no arguement over the tempurature water boils, becuase something happens.

what's the mass at which a solar object becomes a planet? there is no set point. What they have defined is a simple set of rules, like, about how to tell if water is scalding.

it's all semantics. there is no scientific reason pluto should not be a planet- planets don't have any greater effect on the solar system than other things, per mass.

two weeks ago, they defined all the "dwarf planets" as full planets. why? it's semantics.

there is no "where do you draw the line". Don't draw a line. admit or reject planets individually. no line is needed. stop seeking one.

I honestly don't see the point in it at all. Whether we call Pluto a planet or dwarf planet is so unimportant it's ridiculous. It's not going to make a difference. Pluto's there, and it's not affecting us. The end.

Well, I think it's a matter of pride. Pluto was the only planet discovered by the US, so people are fighting to keep it.
At least, that's my opinion.
