have heard the name seems a little odd, tho maybe a little easier to rememebr and roll off the toungethan dwarf planet.

I think I had a plutoid come out of my anus earlier today. There was some kind of small planet floating in the toilet bowl.

Uranus is still stinky and uninhabitable.

I call those Icebergs. While the portion sticking out of the water is large and impressive, 85% of their bulk is actually below the water.

Uranus is still stinky and inhabitable.

I'm almost afraid to ask, but did you mean to type "uninhabitable?"

Afraid to ask? Man, I thought we were cool.

Let this be a lesson to you kids... Don't work and post!

What's Robby Benson doing nowadays? There needs to be an after-school (or work) special about posting working.

My shit today was more like Jupiter. Must have been the Mars bar.

Seriously, I was into astronomy for a while, still have a 6" scope. Plutoid sounds silly.

Like Hemorroid...

I still think downgrading Pluto from a planet - after all these years, and based solely on size - is still the absolute dumbest thing mankind could ever perpetrate.

But, it's a great argument in favor of The Power of Persuasion, How To Win Friends and Influence People, and the Tony Robbins Assertiveness Training and Public Speaking courses

As long as you're a good orator, you can convince everyone of everything.

Next up: why Earth really is at the center of the Universe, and that it's really flat, it's just the atmospheric effects that make it appear round.
