So last night I was talking about the demotion of Pluto from planet status, and one guy said it was a shame since “Pluto” is actually a pretty cool name for a planet. I pointed out that this is doubly a shame considering that not all planets have cool names. Yeah, I think you know what planet I’m talking about. In case you missed it, there’s a planet right here in our very own solar system that has the worst planet name ever. (Unless somebody named a planet “Ursphincter” and I never heard about it.) So here’s my proposal: Let’s take the cool planet name “Pluto” and apply it to that other planet. Everybody wins. Remember, when this happens, you heard it here first.
