If you are upset that there are now only 8 'official' planets,
take
heart, for now Snow White has an additional dwarf to cater to
her.


The terraists have won.

Saying that Pluto is not a planet is a lot of Mickey Mouse.

And will the International Geographical Union come up with a
definition
of "continent" so that Europe is no longer a continent?

It isn't. It's a peninsula of Asia.

And what is Africa?



Part of the largest continent, for which Asimov once suggested the name
Eurafrasia.

I know a way out of this! Tectonic plate boundaries!

So what about Agreenland? It starts with A, is completely surrounded by
water, and is even bigger than Australia. It's right on this map! Teach
the controversy!

You're projecting again, Mercator.
