Planetary Identity Theorem.

[livejournal.com profile] 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."

I still like Calvin's application of names:

The universe was created by "The Horrendous Space Kablooie", and the large carnivorous (although possibly scavenging) beasts with teeny tiny arms were "Monstrous Killer Death Lizards".
