"How many of those astronomers ever even been down to Pluto's 'hood?" Jackson asked, his voice rising above a chorus of "Amens" from supporters arrayed behind him. "When Pluto walks down the mean streets—he clears them out good."

Reporters asked Jackson whether he had actually visited Pluto's orbit, and he deferred to Sharpton, who conceded that the cause of the smallest planet was a stretch for them. "It's the end of the summer. Everybody's out of town—things are kinda slow."

Lol this guy is such an idiot but he always makes me laugh.   :pimp::yes:

Reporters questioned the two activists as to why it had taken them a weekend and two days to come to Pluto's defense, and Sharpton candidly admitted that the two men had struggled as to whether to add the downgraded planet to the long list of causes they have taken up around the world. The problem—very few words rhyme with "Pluto".

:lol:

Oh that is almost too good for words :D

Why must anyone whose last name is Jackson be a lunatic?

A lot of them share a common gene I'd imagine.

I'm skeptical of this story. I can't find anything about it anywhere else.

The mark of good satire is the real possiblity of it. And sadly, this is really possible.

Oooookay.....


I don't see why everyone is so up in arms about this. So what if Pluto is no longer a planet? So what if the old songs for the planets don't work anymore. Anyone who needs a song to remember nine names... I'm not even gonna say it.


This is the problem with humanity: it is now going against the laws of nature: the stupid creatures are the first to die in the wild, unfortunately, we are a humane society, and thus cannot get rid of our stupid people as we are supposed to..... :sigh:

So you would pefer that we live in a Fascistly controlled Darwinist society? Yes I agree that some things should be less heavily regulated to allow the weak to weed themselves out, but forcibly eliminating the inferior would be very problematic, because obviously, superioirity is a subjective judgement.

Hmm... people take stuff seriously on this forum. Much more seriously than I intended.

I am very sorry. I meant it lightly, but now that I reread my post I can see that that is not what it looks like. Once more, I apologize that I did not make it clear that it was a joke. I can delete the post if that is what people would prefer.
