Seriously?

It appears that the International Astronomical Union has decided to rename Pluto following its reclassification as a dwarf planet.

Pluto will now be called Plutoid. Plutoid? Really? I for one am stubborn on this. As far as I am concerned there are still 9 planets. The smallest is called Pluto. Afterall, in the term dwarf planet, the word dwarf serves as an adjective describing the noun planet. Don't these people have anything better to do?

That's the next big advertising scheme.  In order to fund further trips NASA will sell the rights to name the planets!
