Makemake of the Outer Solar System

Oh, wow! A planetoid named after a type of computer program! Awesome!

I just don’t know what to make of it.

So Pluto is a plutoid! Are they teaching 8 planets in schools now?

More importantly, if I’m ever on a quiz show, and they ask the number of planets and I say 8, will I win?

Yes, I hear they are. There are shirts that people my age (early/mid 20s) wear which say “When I was your age, Pluto was a planet.”

OK, but if Pluto is a plutoid, then what does that make Goofy? :confused:
