Why Pluto Still Matters

StartsWithABang writes Nearly a century ago, Pluto was discovered, and for 48 years it remained the only known object whose orbit takes it beyond the gravitational pull of Neptune. In a single generation, we've now discovered more than 1,000 additional objects in the Kuiper Belt, but does that make Pluto any less special? Here's a strong argument for why Pluto might matter now more than ever.

What abot Goofy?

Seriously, Goofy as s Mickey's friend, right? He's clearly a canine.

Then how can Mickey also have a pet dog?

And what about the fucking horses?

Mickey Mouse was in court suing Minnie for divorce

[Anonymous Coward]

The judge stated, "Mr. Mouse, I can't see fit to approve your divorce petition based solely on your opinion that your wife Minnie is crazy; in this state you have to have a valid cause for divorce."
Mickey replied, "Your honor, with all due respect, I didn't say she's crazy -- I said she's fucking Goofy!"

You shouldn't anthropomorphize planets. They hate when you do that.

Pluto is not anthropomorphized. He's antropomorphic Mickey's dog.

Caninopomorphized then?

FTA:

The fact that there are other things out there that are bigger, smarter, faster, stronger, or better than you, in any regard, in absolutely no way diminishes how special you are.

So it's important because it's a special little snowflake, just like the millennials have been taught to think of themselves. Yea, well, guess what? You're not special. And neither is Pluto.
