New Mexico State Legislature has created "Pluto Planet Day."  smile  I say this is worthy of Federal Holiday status.  wink

Ha Ha, Pluto only got it’s own holiday because it’s status is controversial. It needs to clear it's area to be a planet rhight? How exactly is that defined? Anyway it is round under it’s own weight so that gives it atleast planetoid status.

P.S. Let's call Pluto a, "status planet" istead of a full blooded planet.

By that definition, Neptune isn't a planet.  :-\

The moon's escaping.  That's a pretty major object that earth hasn't cleared.  Does that mean earth isn't a planet either?
