Tuesday Noodle Time: Pluto
A long debate in the Astronomical Sciences seems to be coming to a close sometime in the next week. Pluto? Should it stay or should it go? Apparently the “oblong” orbit of Pluto is forcing them to take a back seat to some other ‘big rocks’ like the famous: 2003 UB313, So I pose this question to the Lodge, do we erase the past 75 years of Astronomy teaching for the purpose of a technicality? And if so, can we apply this to other sciences? Like the classification of Tomato as a vegetable.

I think that anytime technology/science advances to where we can better classify somthing then so be it. I got no problem with it plus Neptune will finally get the pub it deserves.
I love it when Jimbo goes Quantum on us. Good times. Keep Pluto... add the "new" rocks. Our solar system is a welcoming one, right?
I dont know if we let one rock in then the next thinks he can just come over the our milky way.. Where does it end? it will be anarchy...
Looks like Len Pasquarelli is rehashing our debate from last fall over College Football vs. Pro Football. Apparently the argument never ends...
In line with mythological names i say UB313 be redeclared as El Diablo.
Train, would it change your mind if Pluto was made of provolone?
maybe a nice aged gouda.
Adam Vinatieri is a golden god!
I don't know about that Jayne...
I think why not add another planet...let's get a round number like 10! Plus if they have counted Pluto all this time, why not add another rock...
It will throw the educational sciences in shambles...(evil laugh)
