That site has a few great t-shirts. It's like what the site tshirthell was, except less sex references.

Hell, I'd wear it. Pluto didn't get taken off the list that long ago.

If we're going by old definitions for celestial bodies, then fuck it being a planet. Pluto is a star.

I'm sick of the Pluto debate. I think we should blow it up just so there's nothing left to debate about.

Shake it, Quake it, Space Kaboom. |

Leave Pluto alone. We should blow up Jupiter, cuz it's more stupider.

Maybe we should blow up Uranus, it will get rid of the Klingons.

Light a cigarette right next to it? Or something similar, but on a bigger scale. That, or build a giant fan to blow it away.

I'm all for reinstating Pluto's former status, but let the other planets be.

Sigh...
...do I really want to start this here?
Yes. Yes I do.
Pluto only got labeled a planet because we didn't know what the fuck else to call it. It wasn't a moon, a comet, an asteroid, or anything else like we've seen. We knew nothing about it except that it was a hunk of rock bigger than an asteroid and went around the sun. So we called it a planet, the definition of which was "Um...we think it's a planet" Very scientific.
Then we found other things like Pluto. Some of which were bigger. They acted differently from the other planets just like Pluto did. There was a lot of confusion and shouting. So they finally decided to define just what a "planet" was. And Pluto didn't fit that definition. Could it have? Sure, but about 10 other objects would fit it too. So Pluto was reassigned to a status as a "dwarf planet".
I really don't see the big deal about it. Scientific progress advanced enough for us to have a better understanding of things, and we reclassified it. It happens all the time. I just think certain people always had an understanding about Pluto - it was the "freak planet" that didn't play by the rules, that acted differently, and losing planet status is like kicking the geek out. I don't think of it like that. I think of it more like a lost, strange wanderer finding his true home.
So what is this about T-shirts?

I think I only give a shit about scientific naming when it comes to dinosaur names, and by that I mean I prefer the one I learned first. Funny dinosaur irony.

I don't know why I feel my post is connected to yours, but it was when I learned Pluto wasn't a planet, and that the Kuiper belt existed was when I finally got interested in astronomy. The whole debate kind of threw the whole "REPEAT ZESE UNT ONLY ZESE NEUN PLANETS" on its head for me, and put the solar system, then the galaxy, and then the universe into perspective for me. Since then, I can't absorb enough astrology, physics, etc. in anything that I read. It's been really fun jumping into things I don't understand and thought I never would, only to feel unsatisfied by the knowledge that currently exists.

So here's to you Mrs. Robinson. People love you more- oh, nevermind. |

Fuck Pluto, I get emotional about Brontosaurus. Apatasaurus can choke and die, that thunder lizard's will always be Brontosaurus to me.
