Planetary Identity Theorem.

[dwivian]

elfgirl calls this "Epic Fail".

Apparently the International Astronomers Union decided to solve the problem of what to call Pluto by naming it a plutoid. A plutoid is basically "something out where pluto is that looks like pluto and not the nearby rocks."

Come now, Earthfolk. This decision was clearly driven by the bad polling numbers your astronomers received after their decision to demote Pluto to the status of a dwarf planet in 2006, shortly before PiratePalooza™. Your planet's unnatural affection for Pluto is becoming irritating for those of us who know better, for if you must know, "Pluto" is in fact a refueling dump for passing Erebriton Freighters of Klaxta Minor and was voted "Most Likely to Explode" in last year's Spacer News Journal.
