Why the heck isn’t Pluto a planet?
Pluto sits patiently waiting to swing his orbit closer to the sun than Neptune for that small part of his year. Then, Pluto (Hades), down in his Underworld, celebrates the one time a year (for his planet) that Neptune (Poseidon - his brother and God of the Seas/Oceans) and Jupiter (Zeus) can't mock him for being the absolute farthest planet from the sun.
Then, all of a sudden, KABOOM!
Pluto receives notice:
"You are no longer a planet, please hand in you Planetary License. You, PLUTO, are now restricted from all rights/privileges listed in Planetary guide and associated with being a planet including, but not limited to: the Annual Planetary Gala [and by annual, we mean Earth years] and the Planetary Parking Lot parking pass renewal and use.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Astronomers of Earth"
How would you feel?! Imagine how poor Pluto sits down in his Underworld with only Proserpina (Greek = Persephone and Hades) there to comfort him...and only for half a year! Neptune and Jupiter have probably gathered to mock Pluto in front of all of his subjects.
The injustice of it all!
Hmph!
Just a random thought/question.
