I do. I dont care how big or small she was. Pluto was part of my childhood. 9 planets is what we grew up with. Its like you take a color away from rainbow and make it a 6 color arc.

I know 9 planets are history, but do you miss Pluto?

OMG.

You know, a couple of days ago, i was going to create this exact same thread…but then i thought, no… everyone is going to think i’m being a sad old fogie.

I was discussing astronomy with my children… and realised i couldn’t use the “My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Naming Planets…” mnemonic..:frowning:

So now i use “My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nachos..” :smiley:

Re: Do you miss Pluto being a planet?

i agree !!

without pluto …My Very Esteemed Mother Just Serve Us 9 Pizzas :smiley:

… oh the 9 Pizzas’ part :frowning:

i want pizza…i really do miss pluto. Pluto has always been the super planet used in almost all the kid sci-fi I used to read.

Any weird person you saw was definitely from Pluto or Mars.

We used to wonder how how cold Pluto would be.

lol :smiley:

Oh yeah. I dreamt about Pluts last night and cried in my sleep. I remember the days when she was an astronomical companion and we would spend hours looking at the stars together. Today, she is but a dot in my memory, lost in the circle of bigger and greater things. I miss you Pluto. And I hope you miss me.

Maroush, I thought of the topic this morning but did not open a thread for the very same reason as yours.. but then I saw Ravage’s Eleven Planet blog and felt encouraged to open it :smiley:

Darn it, you did not mention venus .. I guess you are saving women from being called weird .. (reference: men are from mars women are from venus

Niks, man are you poetic. Beautiful.

:biggthumb: well said nikki aapi :smiley:

and alas the poor little Pluto is no more :confused:

sniff sniff

think how much would Neptune miss it. his word in the mnemonic was due to Pluto :stuck_out_tongue: (nine pizzas) :wink:

Re: Do you miss Pluto being a planet?

Neptune must be suffering from low self esteem .. you know, being the last one in the line now.

haha no Dr. John’s references :stuck_out_tongue:

see I said a weird person…and am sure back then in my childhood I had no clue about this men mars …women venus thingie.

and am not calling you weird or from mars… :smiley:

So beautifully said. :naak:

John Gray is from Mercury or something .. you know after divorcing his wife, he should avoid writing relationship books :hehe:

12

oh I didn’t know he divorced her :wink: he should have been sent to Pluto so he would have been lost for good now :stuck_out_tongue:

A little off topic..now I realise why did my fiance laugh so much at the 50 gender differences I sent extracted from this book ..and his remark was ‘see that’s why am so skeptical about the Western’s take about relationships’ and I didn’t understand … :stuck_out_tongue:

sheepish

:bummer:

Oh well back to Pluto Chronicles now :stuck_out_tongue:

any more odes coming up? or are we the only one with that soft corner for the lost planet in our hearts ? :smiley: talking about tlk bhai , nikki aapi maroush and me :stuck_out_tongue:

Re: Do you miss Pluto being a planet?

I don’t care about Pluto. It’s all about Planet X. Nibiru!

14

Re: Do you miss Pluto being a planet?

Planet X? .. I live in 70’s .. you live in 50’s man ..:hehe:

15

Ditto! I feel like one of my belief systems has been shattered. I told my students a long time ago that pluto was a planet. I was teaching preschool…and then I find out that Pluto isn’t even a planet. That’s what I grew up learning. :frowning:

I even had a mnemonic device to help remember the “9” planets in order. “My Very Energetic Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas.” And now there’s no pizza to serve! :frowning:

Now it might as well be: “My Very Energetic Mother Just Served Us…Nothing” Sigh :frowning:

There was a time when the mention of Pluto conjured up 2 images in my mind…one of them being a distant icy “PLANET.”

But now…when I hear the word “Pluto”…I’m left with just one image…an orange colored mutt. :frowning:

16

wow, a dog .. and come to think of it, from the person of your intellect, I was hoping you gonna say ‘Pluto, the Roman god’ :frowning:

Re: Do you miss Pluto being a planet?

So, this is a joke- right?!

I learned him as Hades…the more commonly known name…in Greek Mythology :snooty:

Re: Do you miss Pluto being a planet?

yes, i remember the day when pluto and me cut class and spend the day munching peanuts along the beach. those were the days…

what? Pluto not being a planet …

No its not a joke, pluto has been demoted from being a planet last year (because of her size)

:snooty:
