Plutowned
A few months from now, grade schoolers would start seeing this in their science exams:

Yes, your eyes are not screwing you. There are only 8 items in there.
The main reason: Pluto, according to scientists, is NOT A PLANET anymore.
Which means there will be only 8 planets that schools and some auditoriums would teach. But actually, clicking on the link shows a picture of the "current" order of the solar system.
Starting from the sun, it goes from:
- Mercury
- Venus
- Earth
- Mars
- Something called "Ceres" (Boy, the last time I was updated regarding the universe was way back in Grade 6 =\)
- Jupiter
- Saturn
- Uranus (Heh, Ur-anus. Futurama reference, anyone?)
- Neptune
- And then Pluto and Charon (Take note, they've been paired together now as a "binary system". So Charon isn't Pluto's bitch, I mean moon, anymore.)
- And a dwarf planet called 2003 UB313. (Funny how they came up with "Ceres", but can't even make a much better name for this.)
Quoting someone from a forum:
----
"Poor Pluto. First it lives so far away from all it's solar system buddies, and now they're saying it's too small to even hang out with them anymore!
5 months from now we're going to find out that Pluto flung itself into the sun in massive depression."

But what about her?
Heh. Bet she feels stupid now.

That... well, poor anime, hehe. Wag na silang gumamit pa ng planeta. baka sumunod yung Mercury. halos kasingliit din yun ng Pluto, di ba?
*joketime* baka magrelease sila ng Sailormoon: Rewinded and Edited, na wala na yung Sailor Pluto nila dun.
===== =====
Magkakaroon din daw ng malawakang edisyon sa mga textbook, diksyunaryo at lexicals na wala na ang Pluto. Laking gastos nyan.
Buti pa ang Wikipedia. hehe.
