And let's not forget that there is some precedent for this "demotion." Ceres was once considered a planet, back in the 1800s, until we discovered that it was simply the biggest single object in the asteroid belt.

So can't you just picture Pluto and Ceres getting together for some tea and sympathy? "There there Pluto, it's okay, I know what it's like to be demoted...you'll get over it after a while."

What I'm wondering is, hasn't Neptune *technically* not cleared all of the objects out of its orbit -- because Pluto crosses that orbit? I mean, it's the same argument that was used to knock Pluto down to dwarf planet status.

I don't know they are all chunks or rock or balls of glassing floating around each other.

I like the tea thing though

But ya if you are gonna use that argument for one, you think it would be used for the other as well. Oh no, we might be down to 7 planets pretty soon.

Haha, if anyone ever suggested the earth wasn't a planet, I think a lot of people would flip out.

From the Planet earth, to The Dwarf planet earth. Doesn't sound as good

Yeah, I guess next thing you know someone will say something about "we *really* need to define what we mean when we say 'clears everything in its orbit.'"
