To Eris Human

Suck it, Pluto fans.

News: Eris more massive than Pluto!

(Sorry, Jo. I know how you love the little dwarf planet. But it's time to let go.)

Curiouser and curiouser.
Does Eris have a rabbit hole as well as a moon. I'll bet the tea parties there are bizarre.

Yes, it might be bigger, but it's not named after a Disney character now, is it? What? You say Pluto isn't named after the Disney dog? Well, then what other Pluto could it be named after? How silly of you....

Did you see that ridiculousness during the last Pluto furor? Apparently, much of Pluto's popularity (and therefore resistance to demotion) is because of the Disney linkage. So sad.

Don't worry, Jo -- I know your dedication is all about the New Mexico connection.

Well, see, I once briefly met the nephew of the guy that discovered Pluto, so like... I feel a personal connection there.
