I suppose Pluto's eligible for vocational retraining and professional placement services now, if it asks for them.
The question is, does Pluto care?

Yeah, it does sound like something Douglas Adams wrote it in one of his books doesn't it!

'In 2006 the International Astronomical Union came together after many months of debate. The outcome of this meeting was to alienate absolutely everyone on the planet Earth by fudging the planet definition. In the next meeting the IAU resolved to strip Earth of its planetary status on the grounds that it didn't fulfil the previous meeting's criteria. They then all voted themselves out of existence before disappearing up their own.........'!!

Hey Pluto.Thanks for all the fish.

See also in Home Base.

Too, Pluto was Out There in Penultima Thule long before we named it, and will no doubt continue long after we are dust, swinging in its eccentric orbit.
