Just saw this site.

I feel we made a big mistake by disrespecting Pluto:

Pluto is an inanimate object and as such does not experience emotions, such as love, hate, enthusiasm, disillusionment. It is not a sentient being and as such cannot act on the emotions it doesn't have, by planning revenge, war, change of orbit, or colonisation.

Most rational adults know this. Why are a minority so easily led by the nose into believing the nonsense they read on the internet?

Has NASA received a Declaration of War from an Ambassador from the Plutonian Government? Causing it to think twice about the New Horizons mission due to flyby Pluto in July 2015?

Has a reputable journal like Nature reported on a fleet of battle cruisers being seen heading our way from The Kuiper Belt?

Of course not. So why do people believe the wild fantasies of the Baron Munchhausens of the internet without first checking whether any authoritative sources can confirm or refute what they allege to be happening? Doesn't the credibility of a source matter to some people any more?

Can I point out that in the 1860s we downgraded 15 planets (Ceres, Juno and Vesta among them) and called them asteroids, reducing the total of planets from 23 to 8.

Now, if none of those 15 former planets exacted any revenge on Earth for their demotion, doesn't it rather tend to suggest that revenge is not actually an option available to a former planet, once demoted?

I was so worried that I gave it a list of all the scientists that voted against Pluto staying as a planet. Hopefully his revenge will be selective now, plus all those scientists will learn a lesson to not mess with Pluto.

They should have just left Pluto a planet. Now I can see that Pluto is going to go after the people that have mocked him!!

Oh NO! It's on now son! If Pluto thinks it can fight it's way back into the solar system it's got another thing coming. Neptune, you're next on the list.

Not to worry, Edward. Pluto is unconcerned.
