WHY WHY WHY haven't I heard of this before?!?!

And nothing against the popularity of Illinois, but it's probably right up there with Pluto.  I never thought Illinois was cool . . . actually I never thought that much about Illinois period.  But now I do!  Now that they decided upon THIS EPIC DECISION .

Watch out, because Pluto is coming near you on March 9.

Plutophiles?

Well, I guess that makes sense . . .

Poor Pluto, the demoted planet must be going through quite the identity crisis.  Now the scientific community is thinking about restoring it's "planet" status?  It has only been three years since Pluto was knocked off it's My-Very-Excellent-Mother-Just-Sent-Us-Nine-Pizzas pedestal.  If my calculations are correct, that's something like a blink in Pluto time.  There must be some major planetary whiplash going on there.  

According to CNN , at least we know the plutophiles are showing support for Pluto's right to be a planet.  Because, what else is my very excellent mother going to send us?   I'll take the pizza, please.
