So that's official now? About 12 years ago in my Astronomy class in college I actually wrote a paper arguing that by definition Pluto did not meet the necessary requirements to be a planet. The title was something like "One Thing We Can All Agree On....Pluto is Mickey Mouse's Dog"

Tomato, Tomahhhto. It's still a big icy rock going in a big circle around the sun, no matter what you call it. These science nerds are wasting way too much time over what to call the damn thing.

Because I found this Pluto jersey on eBay claiming it was authentic and once I got it, it looked like some poor Ethiopian kid shat it out.

I guess you suspected Pluto was going to get traded. Your bad!
