Planet 9 From Outer Space

As you may know, Pluto used to be a planet. Now it isn't.

No, it didn't blow up. (And lucky for you it didn't, because if it had, the two of you would be at the top of the list of suspects.)

What happened was a bunch of fancy-pants astronomers got together and decided Pluto wasn't big enough to be an official planet so they took away its planetary status, which wasn't very nice, if you ask me. Not that you did.

So on the other side of Puget Sound in Seattle, where all the silly things happen, a bunch of people are holding a protest march on Saturday to let the rest of us know just how strongly they feel about the whole thing, and to demand reinstatement of Pluto's as an official full-fledged planet.

(If you already guessed these shenanagins are being put on by the people at the Greenwood Space Travel Agency, well, I always knew you two were pretty smart. For a couple of miscreants, I mean.)
