SHAMELESS PLUTO-KILLER

Post by RayThom »

Neil deGrasse Tyson's has his own take on the new findings.

A guy I know writes this about the new Pluto revelations:

the announcement of pluto s demise was premature. I would bet that it will be re classified as a planet, in due course.

I think it's the secure website that's causing the problem. Try taking the "s" off of "https"
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

Thanks Crackpot, I will next time. It was a small joke which is not worth the effort now.

I copied and pasted your link from "quote" mode...

I think the "This is Pluto" image in Strop's post pretty much made the same joke... 8-)

(Edited to change "my" to "Strop's" to give proper credit... :) )

It did.

But if my image had posted at the time I would have had 'em rolling in the aisles; sadly, that time has passed.

However, it's well known from math that tragedy + time = comedy, so the joke may yet live again.
GAH!
