Regarding my previous post about 2003 UB313 (there is no way I call it Xena) and beloved Pluto. Here is how I look at issue.
Pluto was discovered about 70 and some years ago, in 1930. Since then no bigger object wasn't discovered. So, astronomers were sitting one night, drinking beer, eating microwave pizza. During that night, some of them were playing with telescope, you know like Bart Simpson when he discovered comet that will hit Springfield, and suddenly … BAM Xena pops in! Wow, it so far away that we can get only picture of blurred squares. But since its so far away, it must have been big. "Is it bigger than Pluto?" someone from the crowd asked. Yes, its bigger, so we have found biggest cosmic object since discovery of Pluto! Yeeeha… Let's call it a planet. Yes, but then we will have 10 planets, and we "agreed" that it can be only less than 10 planets in Sol, since it will need changing of our database field so 2 digits can fit (something like stupid W2K bug that went pretty well if You asked me, but that's different topic). Ah, yes… well, lets dump Pluto, and call it a day.

And that's the whole story. I mean, what kind of person You have to be to question status of the planet ??? Not nice if You ask me, and lets hope that Pluto cannot defend himself, or we will be in deep trouble, no matter how small it is ;)
