   Wow, I feel so dated now, learning the nine planets and all. My daughters are going to think I’m crazy when I begin telling them about when I was in school. First they throw another amendment into the Constitution, then they go and take away Pluto, which was always the easiest planet to do a report on…..

   I told my daughter that the declassification of Pluto meant that the next time she saw one of those styrofoam models of the universe at school, she could just thump that small Pluto ball off of it!
