By now you’ve heard the news:  The young postmodern Turks over at the IAU have voted to undiscover Pluto, blissfully unaware of at least two things:

1) Most of us will be quite content to privately undiscover the IAU and their heretical  conclusions.
2)  Their attempted de-resing of the ninth planet is certain to make that frigid world still cooler—what could be better, after-all than a distant realm of Hades that is  renegade and underground?  In many respects, we couldn’t have planned it better ourselves.

Nevertheless, I do hope that the scandalous young bucks over at the IAU know what they have gotten themselves into, and that they’ve locked the doors in anticipation of the full-on ferocious assault that is surely about to visited upon them by a provoked Alan Sokal.
