I'm amazed when I see people arguing about it or telling me definately it is or isn't, especially when it's not even someone who is involved in science. |
It definitely matters if you're an astronomer. To everyone else, it's about emotion, culture and tradition.

Of course Pluto is wondering, poor little rock out in the cold space. Can't you feel how dejected he is? Cold, heartless unbeliever..tsk. _________________ "Setting people on fire is wrong." -Todd "Squee" Casil. |
