Pluto, I hardly knew thee...

Another person I wish I wrote like:

I’ve long regarded Saturn’s misty tantalizing moon Titan as the Homecoming Queen of the solar system, courted and fawned over, stringing us along with teasing glimpses under her atmosphere, while Pluto was more like the chubby Goth chick who wrote weird poems about dead birds and never talked to anybody. Still, I just can’t stand by and watch as the solar system’s Fat Girl gets pushed down into ever-more ignominious substrata of social ostracism.

That's just an excerpt. Read the rest here.

Of course, Pluto is now officially not a planet anymore. All the teachers starting school this week and next will be creating major piles of garbage with their mobiles, posters, and 3-D spinning models of the solar system... or will they all quietly rebel, like so many teachers do? I know what I'd do. /me grins widely.
