Quote - Pluto is a dwarf planet by the below definition and is recognized as the prototype of a new category. This category is being called "plutonian objects.".
Plutonian? Hey, that doesn't sound so very bad - makes it sound 'heavy man'!
I don't think I'm going to find it all that easy to stop calling it a planet though - like stopping calling a pound of flour - a pound of flour.
Drat, I've now got this vision of a massive bag of flour orbiting around the outskirts of the solar system....
