They say Pluto needs to be demoted because they are finding far too many planet-like objects, and, with the current definition, that would include Pluto as a planet, hundreds of objects would have to get planet status and all be named (god save our school-kids who'd have to learn them all). How about this..
While we're at it, let's decide Earth isn't a planet. It doesn't fit the common definition of what a planet is. Most are desolate, cold lumps of rock or violent balls of gas. Earth is an extremely rare entity in the universe, so let's give Earth its own status. Any ideas for what we'd call a space-object like Earth??
Blue Ball?
Monkey World?
Baba Booey Land?
Suggestions welcome..
