Astronomers say Pluto is not a planet - Yahoo! News

I'm imagining the convention center devolving into a Lord of the Flies like scenario.

"You can't speak, Piggy, you don't have the conch!"

Side note: couldn't find any .wav's of that. Sad.

Astronomers say Pluto is not a planet - Yahoo! News: "The decision on Pluto at a conference of 2,500 astronomers from 75 countries was a dramatic shift from just a week ago, when the group's leaders floated a proposal that would have reaffirmed Pluto's planetary status and made planets of its largest moon and two other objects.

That plan proved highly unpopular, splitting astronomers into factions and triggering days of sometimes combative debate that led to Pluto's undoing. In the end, only about 300 astronomers cast ballots."
