Not a test - don't ignore

But imagine a hard life of a full-timer.

"This NY Times story reports the controversial decision by the American Museum of Natural History to no longer list Pluto among the planets. Although they don't actually declare Pluto's loss of planetary status outright, their newly opened planetarium classifies Pluto simply as a Kuiper Belt object. A staff member says only 1 in 10 people ask about the 'missing' planet." - http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=01/01/22/1442230&mode=thread&tid=160
On an interesting note, I belive three new minor planets were found lately--all three smaller than pluto. Just search the science section of slashdot, news.google.com science.
Laukev7:
And you think that just because one museum in United States made that decision, that every other country will follow suit?
Typical American egocentrism. (just kidding ;) )

Well, I'm sure quite a lot of organizations will follow.
Oh, and good job on the comment about Americans. I would probably cry and whine about it, if I was one.
Laukev7:
Oh, I know you're not American. But many people on these boards are.
