Our Solar System now only has 8 planets. Well, I guess we only really had 8 to begin with, but we were fooling ourselves with number 9. Damn upity Pluto, who the fuck did he think he was? Stupid Kuiper Belt object.  Dwarf planets got no reason... |

Actually it's still 9. There's a new one they found a few years ago, forget what it's called. And I actually thought they did away with Pluto like 6 years ago, guess they just talked about it.

Nope the one you're thinking about is UB213, also known as "Xena," which, I swear to God, has a moon named "Gabrielle." Fucking nerds. No, Xena would've been promoted along with Cerberus and Charon (Pluto's moon) and then we'da had 12. But instead they were all classified "Dwarf Planets" and now we have 8.
