I always support the underdog! PLOO-TOE! PLOO-TOE! PLOO-TOE!

A planet is a planet, no matter how small!

People just want Pluto back so their mnemonic devices work.

"My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Nine"
"...Nine what?!"
"That's it, since Pluto was taken off, she didn't serve us anything. No pizza, no pie..."

I like the design.

But after watching the documentary on this topic and listening to Neil's logic and reasoning, I agree with the decision.

I think it's just the whole "I grew up with 9 planets, you can't change that." (Plus Americans don't want to give up the one "planet" we discovered) But change is just part of life. Deal with it.

That sounds like a lot of the good "underground" rap that's out there. I'll definitely give him a good listen this week. It's so hard to keep up with everything that's out, especially now that people are able to self publish and digitally distribute.

You should give Flash Bang Grenada a listen, if you haven't heard 'em.

My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Nachos?

My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Noodles?

of if you value "discovery" try

My Very Excellent Mother Certainly Just Served Us Nachos. Please Have Maalox Everywhere.

People who call pluto a not-planet just want to be able to keep the question, "how many planets are there in the solar system?" in text books.

It's moves like this that make children ignorant of such celestial bodies as Ceres. Even though it accounts for 32% of the mass in the asteroid belt. I don't hide discoveries from my kids for the sake of simplicity. They can handle the truth.

YEEEEOOOOWWWW

A friend of mine saw Sage Francis walking around Minneapolis, and Sage just looked at him and yelled WHAT! But to be fair it was around the time of Eyedea's death so I'm sure he was on edge.

Skelethon will be amazing... So will Cancer 4 Cure.

OCCUPY PLUTO!!!!!!

I think I am going to buy this next time I go to a Brian Regan Show... Anyone who dosn't know, Brian Regan is a funny comedian that did a joke about Pluto's planet status.. Its called the Epitome of Hyperbole and it is in that comedy special somewhere. I could not find the clip anywhere but you have to watch it, it is super funny!

Even though the definition of a planet makes perfect sense to me, I laughed and bought this anyway! Love it.

She can serve nachos. Everybody likes nachos, right?

EDIT: I see the excellent cedaroo has already suggested this. Touche.

Personally, I'm tired of this argument regardless of how facetious its intention. The reasoning for removing its planet status was sound and logical. The name "planet" is pretty irrelevant to being with. There are tons of fairly substantial objects in our solar system. The people that seem to perpetuate this argument tend to not even know that. Just let it go already.

Congrats on the print Oddroc, as soon as I got back online today and saw the design, I knew it was yours, you've got a great distinctive style.

It would have to be a planet to qualify. and it'snot.

Yeah I think it's important to teach our children critical thinking and critical thinking says pluto is a rock and nothing overly special and was only classified a planet because of the limitations of our time. We can teach them about the actual solar system and other solar systems and planets. Any other rampant hyperbole you gonna throw my way?

I understand where you're coming from, but is it not critical thinking that leads us to question the new classification of Pluto? Doesn't critical thinking require us to see both sides of the argument objectively? Is it not arrogant to say critical thinking validates your opinion alone?

Also if you can wrongly call other star systems "solar systems" you should have no problem with me calling pluto a planet.

So, for the people wanting Pluto back, are you fine with several or maybe dozens of new planets being added?

Hey guys this design is Also Available As A Hoodie

Woot posted a tiny link already, but I didn't realize this until just now. I'm sure a lot of others would miss it too...

Definitely! I'd rather learn about the new planets being discovered than learn new contrived definitions for the word planet any day.

I personally go with the "educated mother" and her "nine pizzas."

Without Pluto, she wouldn't be very educated serving Nachos. Or even Nothing. Is there anything "educationally" healthy beginning with N?

I mean pizza is that food that includes many food groups. And pizza is pie. And everybody loves pi.

One of the first mnemonics I've saw with just eight planets was "My Very Educated Mother Just Showed Up Naked." Apparently, "advancements" in science is yielding us disturbing images in the process. :P

take it up with NASA - boom!

Congrats Tony!!!

Please tell me this is not to request a Pluto Nash sequel.

Felicidades Tony!

TACOS! TACOS! TACOS!

Start my morning by finding a new Oddrock shirt for sale?

Not bad, Mondays.

That would have been the preferred course of action.

I'm just so happy that there are other wooters that listen to Aesop Rock. I signed in just to make that connection.

ha, not a bad shirt... clever!

xstevejx wrote:So, for the people wanting Pluto back, are you fine with several or maybe dozens of new planets being added?

We should be teaching about these other objects regardless what we call them.

Same here.

I did miss it, and I am in need of more hoodies =[

Oh well though I like this one better as a tee.

Just pointing out that on March 13th, Pluto is still considered a planet according to Illinois law.

Pluto was NEVER a planet.

We just thought it was for a while. Science is about correcting mistakes. Anyone who says Pluto should be a planet is valuing nostalgia over reality.

used to be "My Very Easy Method: Just Set Up Nine Planets." oh well

Just yesterday I was telling my girlfriend that since shirts with BIG BOLD LETTERS SAYING SOMETHING IMPORTANT seem to be all the rage now, I want to get one that really doesn't say much of anything like, LOTS OF BIG WORDS ON THIS SHIRT.

Or I'll just buy this one. Occupy Pluto.

Bold, original, and effective layout and design. Hats off, man! Great job congrats on print.

pretty much.
this is as dumb as people whining about brontosaurus not being a valid dinosaur name.

I'm sorry general public, people who know more than you about these specialized fields have come to a consensus. All the whines and nostalgia in the world won't change stuff and honestly complaining years later just makes a person look dumb.

I just wanted to say thank you Whether or not Pluto ever makes it as a planet (again), we still have a long time to wait before it comes back...

Why does the planet on the shirt look like Mars, not Pluto?
