More Planets?

Doesn’t anybody else think we should drop Pluto as a planet, rather than adding one, two, or eighteen more?

This guy agrees with me. He’s Michael Brown, and he discovered the celestial body 2003 UB313 — he nicknamed it Xena — which set off the current debate over what defines a planet. Interestingly, he doesn’t get to vote on the international definition of a planet.
