Astronomers Say Pluto Is Not A Planet

By George

PRAGUE, Czech Republic - Leading astronomers declared that Pluto is no longer a planet under historic new guidelines that downsize the solar system from nine planets to eight.

After a tumultuous week of clashing over the essence of the cosmos, the International Astronomical Union stripped Pluto of the planetary status it has held since its discovery in 1930.

And they say it’s a small world! Our universe is virtually degenerating around us.

Just a few days ago those same highly educated astronomers wanted to enlarge the solar system to twelve planets.

You may remember I commented on that stating we did not have room for them. I mean who needs them, right?

Now they have taken one away?

Let them do as they will. Let them say Pluto is no longer a planet if that makes them happy. One thing is for certain…

They will NEVER say that Pluto is no longer a dog!

Hinkly out!

News For Your Vacation

By George

I was planning a trip to Pluto actually, but since it is no longer a planet most of the major airlines have discontinued flights there.

This can be very distressing, as I had to make last minute alterations to my itinerary. It appears I’m now forced to Tahiti for several months where the inhabitants are so impoverished the girls can’t even afford suitable clothing – what a consolation.

To avoid similar fates I recommend contacting your favorite airline or travel agent and ask if they fly to Pluto.

Hinkly Out!
