SETI shutting down?!

[Delphiki]

No, but if they have us on IGNORE because we plutoed them, I would suggest you have a talk with them -- not me.

What do you even think you mean by "plutoed"? A change in nomenclature?

I think SETI shutting down is a good thing. I fail to see where spending so much money on a fruitless enterprise makes any sense when there are plenty of other more valuable enterprises we could concentrate on, such as alternatives to fossil fuels. Even if we found ET's out there... then what? We couldn't visit with them, much less probably communicate effectively with them. By the time their signal reaches us, their civilization might have actually died hundreds of thousands of years ago. It adds no quality to our life, nor does it help us or future generations survive on this planet.

I'm pretty sure the universe couldn't care less whether we refer to Pluto as a planet or dwarf planet.

Kind of ironic that those whining over a change in terminology, er, made a change in terminology of their own.

No, it's a MASSIVE DEAL I tell you! Not only does it make all of science wrong somehow, but I and my fellow citizens of Hicksville are REALLY QUITE ANNOYED ABOUT IT as we invented the word "downgrade!

 

[Delphiki]

Again: There are no inhabitants of Pluto. If there were, what would they care what series of earth-English syllables we used to classify their planet?

You people are simply insane.

Do you guys really think that Pluto has inhabitants?

-- If not, then what are Plutonians?

A misspelling of the element Plutonium

is there a word for what happened to "St. Christopher"?

Everyone has everything wrong. All plutonium is obviously from Pluto. That's why it was downgraded; we mined so much plutonium for bombs and power plants that it died as a planet and became a dead orbiting husk.

Furthermore: Mars bars are from mars. So if we eat enoughof them mars won't be a planet either.


I'm right cause I'm right cause I'm right and you're wrong cause you're not me. There anything else you wondered about?

You forget to mention that we get mercury for our thermometers from planet Mercury. Also we get Uranium from Uranus. Also it is obvious we have much more Uranium, because Uranus is much bigger than Pluto. And also this:

we get from Venus.

Well, maybe there are more I'm missing.

Of course. Everybody whose knowledge is worth anything at all knows this.
