Is nothing sacred?  If we can't count on *nine* planets in our
world of woes, just what can we count on?

They should have denounced Pluto as a renegade, a counter-
revolutionary atavistic wrecker and destroyer of ancient
verities, a 20th century interloper who's been exposed for
what it is, a pretender/upstart of the worst sort!

I say that we make it a Law of Astronomy right up there with
Kepler's, that there are---and always have been---eight planets
exactly, and that short of something actually happening to one
of them, it *stays* at eight, upon pain of civil prosecution.

Finally: "My very Enduring Mother 'as just served us nematodes"
and be done with it forever.
