Fred, I don't think you have your filters on today

There was a lot of tongue-in-cheek in that post.
One point about the topic in general: I was confused in second grade about why pluto was a planet - it made no sense. Why not a comet? It is not on the eliptical plane, has an streched oblong orbit, is as tiny as a mouse and and is made of an ice & rock slurry. Confused me then and now it makes sense to define a planet with such precision that objects like pluto are not included.
That said, a "stool on uranus" should have been your go-to catch phrase above. If you could have somehow elagantly folded it in, with nary a call out, it would have made the post. :)
