In reply to We should do something about Pluto..., posted by Racer on August 24, 2006, at 13:17:26
I'm not tooooooooooo sure what's up with Pluto...
I heard it was that the orbit is wrong...
No, sorry, *different* ahem.
Then I heard that the trouble is that planets are supposed to clear other large bodies (or whatever) out of their orbital path. But... Pluto didn't do that.
(Maybe those issues are related... I don't know that it has a proper orbital path)
So maybe... Pluto just wasn't assertive enough.
