well now just hold on a minute here,,it was an asteroid , now its a Dwarf Planet, so it appears theres no" challenged" to it. This thing is moving right along in its......enthusiastic vertical groundswelling.

That one was for you Ceres, you piece of flotsam dirt bag orbiting Our Sun in the gravity well of ingratitude over the eons of who gives a crap....For You!!

If you c'aint land on it, stick a flag on it, play a round of (humerous) golf on it and meet Robbie the Robot coming around the corner on it then it A'INT A PLANET! (vertically challenged or otherwise).

I'm still sad that Pluto isn't a planet

No - Pluto's an animated bloodhound who first appeared in Disney's "The Chain Gang" in 1930

Actually - is there a sort of 5 point check-list definition as to what is and what is not a planet. It certainly seems to me that there should be, given all the confusion as to whether objects are or are not planets. I guess there is much more kudos (and much more likely hood of being remembered down the years) as the person who discovered a new planet rather than the person who discovered a new .......er......piece of rock and ice.

Oh fine, I'll move it... <grumble mutter you people want to take away all my GenDisc topics and leave me with nuthin' mutter grumble>
