So it's now official - Pluto is no longer designated as a planet. I was secretly hoping for the astronomy community to add lots more little stuff as planets, in the slim hopes that Galactus and Unicron would make the cut.
Also, did they not consider the effect this would have on the good folks at the Ithaca ScienCenter and the Carl Sagan Planet Walk? I think the City of Ithaca might be forced to remove a few blocks from their grid.

"I'm struck by the narcissism and banality of so many personal blogs." - Blaise Cronin, Professor and Dean, Information Science, Indiana University. Is corn the most banal thing possible? Certainly it's not narcissistic to think about and talk about corn. Perhaps I skew 100% banal, 0% narcissistic, then. So here it is - some thoughts about corn. Enjoy. It's nutritious!

And suddently, it's thoughts about Cornell. Nice.
Also, did you catch that one of the new "planets" they were going to have to accept to keep Pluto's designation was named "Xena"? Yes, that Xena.
And I don't care what they say, Ceres was a planet in the 1800s, it's a planet now, and it will continue to be a planet.
Yeah, just like Troy is a National League city.
