We all know what happened to Pluto the other day. The once 9th planet was deemed unfit to be called a planet and was reduced to dwarf planet status. Now, after recovering from the sting of that decision, it’s been given another bitchslap by those stargazing nerds. The Minor Planet Center has assigned Pluto a new name, one fitting of its new status. And that is…134340. Hey, that’s my Blogger password! Oops.

Talk about adding insult to injury. You’re probably asking why do I care? Well I have a tendency to pick up for the underdog. Plus I’m a bit of stargazer, so I actually care about the little ball of ice. (I bet you’d care more if it were Pluto the dog huh?) That must suck big time. To go from being named after the Roman god of death to some generic number. If I were Pluto, I mean 134340, I’d be plotting a collision course with Earth right now.
