he's gonna be the physics/astronomy rep at the freshman academic fair. *blinks* you ready to see him get his award on the 8th? hehe.

o.O Lol we should protest the event. Still can't believe it... Watson, an award for best teacher? *falls over*

Best thing about this article?

There's a dwarf planet names Xena.

*grin*

lol, yep! and because they're officially calling a "dwarf" planet now, the stodgy astro men prob won't change it's nickname. Yaaaay Xena! ^_^

I'm surprisingly depressed at hearing of Pluto's demotion. I'm... well... I've always been a strange fan of Pluto, but, then again, I'm a strange person. I'll miss it being a planet. And, what sucks even more, is that "My Very Energetic Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas" no longer works, because, well, it doesn't. *sighs*

Yeah, it's a shame. But for now, "My Very Eccentric Mother Just Served Us Noodles" might have to do.

Actually, that isn't why. If you really want to know the origins of my attachment to Pluto, I'll tell you. One of my own, personal fantasy worlds revolved around a solar system on the other side of the Galaxy. In the coninuity of my story (it was actually a trilogy as well, Peter) before the invention of a Super Space drive that could be attached to a ship's pre-existing engine (which opens a portal into a parallel dimension where it is possible to travel great distances in real space while only traveling a relatively short distance in Super Space) there were pre-determined points where planetary stations created large, freeway-type Super Space portals that were used by different ships for different purposes. The Xians (my bad guys, tehe) created one such station on Pluto in order to transfer their ships in and out of the Solar System without the detection of Earth or, their allies, the Rintossians. (No, that is not derivative from Protoss, Peter. It comes from my father's original name for the planet, Ringtoss.)

Wow, we just gave a big FU to Pluto. Time to unlearn everything about the damn planet now. Curse you Astro.
