Pluto. It's time to chime in. I think we're all grateful to the scientists for giving us a topic not related to war, Jon Benet, Britney, or Aruba. It has to be one of the few times that astronomers get the spotlight. No one really cares about new star sightings but take away Pluto's status as a planet and the world suddenly has something in common.
The concern is amazing. You'd think that the orbiting rock had disappeared from known space. But Pluto is still there doing it's thing. I think that mainly involves spinning in space and status or no, Pluto goes on, its legacy ensured by its demotion.
All the existing space toys can simply be remarked as: Solar System kit with bonus revolving Pluto! Textbooks can revise with a X over Pluto, and Disney's Pluto can rise in fame.
8 Planets. It seems a little empty, doesn't it?

Astrologers are all out of whack! However, they are calling Pluto a dwarf planet, so that is close enough.
