Completely Random Thoughts

I never understood why people get so butthurt about Pluto being classified as a dwarf planet. I think it's nice that we have a better understanding of things are willing to change what's always been the norm to fit that new knowledge.

I think it's those OCD people that are the worst about this.  Everything's gotta be in it's correct place.  Who gives a shit.

Sure, and I guess you'd just arbitrarily downgrade Mickey's dog to "mouse's second best friend" too while you are at it...

[jewishcarpenter]

Technically he's a dwarf best friend now.

Scientists have discovered that Mickey's dog has some anthropomorphic qualities, which makes him somewhat human.

And Mickey's Dwarf Best Friend is Doc.

I would classify him as "Mouse's Best Friendoid."

Technically he's a dwarf best friend now.

Wait, does that mean Mickey's not having Dopey as his best man any more now? You know, for when he eventually marries Minnie

You mean to say they have been living together out of wedlock!?  You have ruined that character entirely for me!

[Tripe]

Well living together sure, in that the inhabit the same house, not sure how much further it goes, if the graffiti in a strangely duck-like hand is to be believed.

I wish they had grandfathered in Pluto just so I wouldn't have to hear "why is Pluto no longer a planet?" at nearly every public event we have at the observatory.  But science doesn't work that way unfortunately.

My favorite answer is this picture we have on our slideshow of pictures taken at the observatory, scroll down to the bottom of the page:
