That's what I call 'light humour'

I cannot resist giving my opinion on this now. The ruling by the IAU is terrible because Pluto is NOT a planet; nor is it a dwarf planet! Creating this new 'dwarf planet' category is an atrocious decision and smacks of weak-minded management at the IAU. They just ended-up trying to make things fair, instead of making things right.

The ones that wanted Pluto demoted completely to a Kuiper-Belt Object are the ones who prefer order. Their's are the work-desks that are neat and tidy. Conversely, the ones who want to keep it as a planet don't care for order and their's are the work-desks that are full of piled-up rubbish.
