Entry for August 24, 2006 - Unacceptable Demotion

Who do these scientists think they are? They can't go and change their minds  after seventy-five years! Pluto has been a planet since my grandparents were born, and I'm not going to accept that it suddenly isn't. Nope. Not gonna do it.


I've never been a fan of revisionist scientific classification anyway. Do you remember brontosauruses? Even though we learned in elementary school that's the name (which is odd given the claim that the mix-up that lead to the name chance was discovered in 1975 - two years before I was born and several before I took science classes) we're now supposed to forget that and call them Apatosaurus instead. Supposedly for name accuracy. So, does anyone know how T-Rex's became royalty, then?


Don't mind me, I'm going to be over here reassuring myself that there are still nine planets and all is right with the universe...
