As far as I'm concerned, and I have good company (nice tug Uli), Pluto is a planet, albeit a small one. One that is made even more curious by its dance with its partner.

For me it's a planet. period.

When it comes to calories - they are not an SI unit. Period.

But then again, there are people still using miles (of differing length) and all other oddities. With that as a background, Pluto can be a planet to 90% of earth's population and an asteroid to the narrowminded rest.

I'll emulate Chris and close the door on my way out ;)
