[MrBern]

Pluto the planet, not the cartoon dog, is not a planet anymore, its a dwarf, but not one of the 7 dwarves...

We prefer the term "Little Planets."

HAHAHAHAHA
Make that two tinkles!
Wouldn't want to tick off that "Little Planet", who knows what the creatures who inhabit it will do! Wouldn't want to hurt their feelings, if that's what they call them up there.

Leave Pluto alone!!!!

Why do I keep hearing Mozart’s Twinkle Twinkle little star?
Leave Pluto a Lone

* (I love the French version and others)
English version

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

Then the traveller in the dark,
Thanks you for your tiny spark,
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye,
Till the sun is in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

As your bright and tiny spark,
Lights the traveller in the dark,—
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

Are we supposed to be discussing Pluto's (ahem) 'little man' on a family forum?

The definition of 'planet' is fuzzy and at least 300 astronmers will not accept Pluto's demotion!
