Astronomers are Mean
The saddest part of the loss of Pluto as a "classical planet" was probably this story. She took it pretty well, but couldn't they have waited a few more years. Actually, one my greetings to Anna upon her return tonight was, "You know how long we've been married? So long ago that there were still nine planets."
That probably makes me the 10,327,234th person to make that joke today.

No, I think you are in select company. You must be the only non-astronomer to think that is a joke.
