From a recent report on the International Astronomical Union's decision to strip Pluto of its planethood:

"It could be argued that we are creating an umbrella called 'planet' under which the dwarf planets exist," she said, drawing laughter by waving a stuffed Pluto of Walt Disney fame beneath a real umbrella."

Yes, just what we need in the world of science. More prop comedy. Just super.

Also:

"
Much-maligned Pluto doesn't make the grade under the new rules for a planet: "a celestial body that is in orbit around the sun, has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a ... nearly round shape, and has cleared the neighborhood around its orbit."

So while Pluto's out, it looks like Tom Arnold and Camryn Manheim are in. Feel free to congratulate one of our new planets should you run into them. Assuming you can escape their gravitational field, of course.
