You know that Titan, Triton, Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto would all be considered planets in their own right if they were not orbiting those bug gas balls way out there.

Pluto and the other KBOs are not major planets. I don't care what the general public thinks or wants in this regard. And I'm just waiting for the astrologers to "adjust" their charts to fit the new KBO into their mumbo-jumbo. As if the big ice ball didn't exist before last week.

I've got Xena rising in my Pisces - ouch!
