I guess the Hindus will now have to change their Vedic texts which mention 9 planets!

it actually is Indigo. I know most people think it isn't but if you look at the script.

Nope! Planet Hollywood will replace Pluto. We all know the people out at the original in California aren't from "this world"!

Count me in with "most people". Here's a link to the script at IMDB - http://www.imsdb.com/scripts/Princess-Bride,-The.html - if you'll check the script, I think you'll see that it is Inigo, not Indigo.

I don't think "little person planet" works either. I think it's vertically (or in this case, mass) challenged engineers.

I think that Pluto should not be considered a planet. I like the scientific communities definition and I think their definition validy seperates real planets from astroids, meteors and comets. I would like to hear one anyone make an argument that Pluto is not a meteor.

Is Australia an Island or a Continent and does it make any differance to the Fosters Lager if it goes either way  ?
Large Rock, non planet like orbit, virtually no atmosphere. I cannot see why this would be considered a planet. I asked you to give me reasons not a discussion on Australia

Okay, I will make that argument. The IAU says that meteors are:
"in particular, the light phenomenon which results from the entry into the Earth's atmosphere of a solid particle from space; more generally, as a noun or an adjective, any physical object or phenomenon associated with such an event."

Then would that make "space junk" a meteor or a planet?

OK fair assessment of why it is not a meteor. I was sort of joking. But it really is an asteroid or a comet. It is mostly ice. There are bigger comets then pluto. If it went half as close to the sun it would be about 1/2 the size from melting. It does not have a planetary orbit. Its moon does not rotate around it.

I am guessing that the Anon meant to state that Pluto should be classified as an asteroid, not a meteor. Indeed, many of our asteroids originate from within the Kuiper Belt (home to Pluto). However, asteroids are generally considered to be rocky whereas Pluto is an iceball.
