Because I'm a sentimental old fool ...

... and I fear change.

A planet is called a planet because humans have decided to call it a planet.

I'm a human, and I have decided to continue calling Pluto a planet.

Two plus two does not equal five.

Pluto = Planet... Either that or a cartoon dog (that had me confused when I was little!)

Yup - has been a planet since I met it and so it will remain a planet in my head.

Pluto has for centuries been a major figure in the Greek underworld and I for one think that it's high time that his assets were seized, or at least downgraded. Perhaps we could be allowed to call it a planet only during the summer months whilst Persephone's on holiday.
