Poll question: Worst excuse for dumping Pluto as a planet?

4. I had to dump Pluto... we were moving in different directions

daughter's suggested alternative answer:

6. Clinton got a blowjob

The moral decay caused by Clinton getting a hummer degraded Pluto's orbit. It's all the fault of the Clenis.

8. If Pluto had oil it'd still be a planet.

It's always about the oil.

9. The simple answer is: Pluto ain't in the Bible.

Therefore, it doesn't exist. :)

10. I'm going with Gustav Holst on this one.

The fade-out on "Neptune, the Mystic" simply screams: 'Last planet, last planet, last planet...'
