I know it's pedantic but waterball would be a better analogy. ~70% surface is water (not dirt) but there really isn't much of it on earth as a whole. I agree with your sentiments Sterling. I particularly thought "Hmm, they're NEVER gonna call them frigospheres. titter". Although I am pro 8 I agree that suddenly demoting Pluto may end up making everyone look silly. As someone else pointed out, in 100 years, nobody's going to cae what we call them. I suspect that in 100 years I won't care either. Somehow I doubt that science can make me live to 140 when it cannot properly decide what a planet is! Can't we just ignore the problem? Maybe it'll go away! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
