Not much makes me laugh out loud at 8:30 on a Saturday morning, but this did. Matt Fraction goes off about Pluto's non-planetary status.
See? Right there, on the bottom-right. Fuckin' PLUTO, bitches.
We've already TOLD THE ALIENS we think PLUTO IS A PLANET. Now if they FIND THE PLAQUE and come say hello, and suddenly we're all, "What, no, we're an eight-planet solar system, buddieth; we have a selection of dwarf planets you might have seen on your way in, but those, in spite of having sufficent mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces to assume hydrostatic eqiulibrium, haven't cleared the neighborhood around its orbit and that little insignificant speck there you saw on your way in overlaps with our REAL last planet, Neptune..."
Way to go. Way to make us look like a bunch of dipshits to the spacemen.
Read the whole tirade here.
