Random Acts of Human Arrogance

Heard about Pluto. Yeah, sure. Whatever. I predict a reversal in less than 10 years. Somebody is going to change their mind, just watch for it. I assure you, Pluto does not friggin' care what we call it. If you can live on it, it's home for someone. Who cares what gets called a planet and what doesn't? Honestly.

In the same vein? David Plotz is blogging the Bible at Slate.

*thinks* I have at least four copies of the Bible at home, various translations (including a Catholic version) and 12 versions on CD for comparison's sake.

This, ought to be good.

Astrologers the world around are gonna have a hissy fit.

Same people who make up predictions about Pluto will also have to be reminded that Pluto wasn't actually discovered until the 20th century, so how in heck did the ancients divine any horoscopes? :P

I am deeply wounded! All the solar-system mobiles I made in grade school are WRONG! Kiddo's glow-in-the-dark planets on his ceiling have to be reordered! It's a catastrophe!

Basically, this is the astromoner's version of "Harry Potter Is In Love With Ginny/No He Isn't He's In Love With Hermione."
