The Fat Girl of the Universe
One man sets his sights on Pluto. Please, oh please, Mr. Scientists, won't you let it stay a planet?

I think it should remain a planet in order to maintain the rhythmical integrity of "My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizza-Pies." You take off the pizza-pies and what the hell do you have? Nothing, that's what. A goddamn void where you used to have a deliciously icy little planet, all covered in pepperoni.

And we all know the universe could use more pepperoni.

**UPDATE** Astronomers suck.

Well, let me be the first to propose:

"My very energetic mother just served us nachos"

Sweet, sweet, greasy-orange cheese. Mmmm... Nachos.

I guess it will have to be nachos, since Pluto just got demoted.

Just think about all of the poor astrologers. They'll have to re-write all of their tables and everything to conform with the new scientific standards.

AAP: your question is addressed in today's NY Times. Apparently "it’s at the point of discovery that the archetype of that planet, the energy, is released to the public consciousness." So. That settles that.

Yeah, I read that this morning. And my forehead still hurts from where I slapped it. At least the writer made fun of them, saying something to the effect of "astrologers, usually not the most consistent group..."
