I'd often joke about coming from this "used-to-be" planet. Until it had been kicked out from the planet gang in 2006. Twas earlier demoted firstly to a Dwarf planet before it's totally voted off. Well, there are around 44 known Dwarf planets. At least, it's not alone! bwahaha So, why did they demote my favorite planet? Here's one of the reasons I found... "Pluto has been demoted because it does not dominate its neighborhood. Charon, its large "moon," is only about half the size of Pluto, while all the true planets are far larger than their moons." So, what is it really now? It's a question in my head...really! This is what I have found to be a bit convincing answer..."Pluto is now seen as one of the largest known members of the Kuiper belt, a shadowy disk-like zone beyond the orbit of Neptune populated by a trillion or more comets." Ok ok. It is just a Dwarf planet and I just hafta accept the idea that it's better to demote one planet than add hundreds more! Am not gonna keep on asking. Some things are meant to be taken as is without questioning why or it's just gonna cause more complications. It's just funny though that more discoveries are adding to the controversy. Recently, this Dwarf planet was found to additional moon orbiting it. And this discovery gives Pluto more moons than Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars combined. It now has 5 moons orbiting it! Quoting what a comedian gave as a comment regarding this, “It’s like, since being kicked out of the planet gang, it’s decided to form a rival solar system,” said Dean Burnett, a neuroscientist and stand-up comic in Britain. “Good one Pluto, I say.”

Haha... if we see it that way, yeah it makes sense :D. I'm lausghing so hard now, imagining the planets hanging around the streets sitting on cardboard boxes forming gangs and yelling obscenities to each other and daring others to fight :D.
