I understand that scientific knowledge changes and deepens and broadens with time. However, can I just say that one is officially old when the SOLAR SYSTEM is no longer the one you learned in school? ;-)
More important news than the reclassification of Pluto is the new development in embryonic stem cell research that was all over the news yesterday. I bet Jimmy will blog on that, specifically whether (if it's for real) it could make embryonic stem cell research morally permisible by no longer including the direct killing of an embryo, though the creation of the embryos would still be wrong.
Jimmy Dear, could you and your fellow bloggers please coordinate your blog days off to make sure I have something to read with my coffee in the morning? Thanks...
Hrmmm, looks like Jimmy left the door unlocked! Let's make a mess!

Unfortunately I fear this may mean "Xena" will not be renamed.

It was like Princess Leia traded Pluto for her home planet on the Death Star...
