good, I believe this is the right decision, the alternative of adding extra planets was unworkable, within a hundred years we could have over a thousand planets in our solar system alone.
It does muck up my song to remember the names though, anyone thought of a new one?

Yes.One astronomer was not happy about 12 planets,in our Solar System,because he had discovered some 40 odd bodies,similar to Pluto and its clone,recently discovered,which,some were trying to label a "Planet".
Here are some of the reactions of the people who also matter.

Well Pluto is still a planet, only not a full ized one. Think of a mini sub-breed of a dog. Same breed and still a dog, only not full size. :)

A dog is a dog big or small,not so planets,if the Astronomers are to be believed!
Meanwhile,this incident,has increased on line business!

Who said tiny(!),Pluto doesn;t have supporters?
Some astronomers are rebellious and want to restore order.Please read the material in the link.

I wonder at the fuss. Who cares if it is a planet or not? The only difference it would make is if it dissapeared in a puff of green cosmic dust.
Other than that it is where it has allways been, doing what it allways does. You could call it a banana, it would not change that fact.
