You can have someone's eye out with that...

some busybody name Copernicus stuck his nose in

and then Tyco Brahe stepped up and smushed even that

Tyco Brahe got the 'point' when he stuck his nose in too far.

Sorry - puerile pun productions punishable by posting privelage pauses.

Re: Pluto sues!

Pluto might be suing but their case is hurt due to some ill advised reactive action they took hours after the votes had been counted...

Re: Dodgy terminology

I understand the precedent was set by the terms stars and dwarf stars already in use.

What's the story on that? Is a dwarf star considered a star?

Yep white dwarfs, dwarfs and subdwarfs are all still referred to as stars. Yet in this case, a dwarf planet is not a planet.
