For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

Neil deGrasse Tyson's has his own take on the new findings.
A guy I know writes this about the new Pluto revelations:

“In a world whose absurdity appears to be so impenetrable, we simply must reach a greater degree of understanding among us, a greater sincerity.”

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...
(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!
