And according to Meghar's Scale of Planetary Mass Classification, yes,
not only is Pluto a Planet, but it's first in its own class of planets!

Plutoids! You will be assimilated!

(Don't forget, tomorrow is pi day for the mathematically challenged.)


This is unconscionable.


I know, it's terrible. Ceres is a planet too, with its own class in the
Meghar Scale of Planetary Mass Classification, head of its class even.

I can't wait until 2015 when all of this will be straightened out, and
then we can begin classifying extra solar planets in earnest again.

I'm beginning even to doubt the exact value of pi.
