Hmm, could Saturn's rings have been made by the residents of Saturn millions of years ago, before they all died out? Can you imagine, millions of years from now, that another civilization on Mars wonders how Earth, a lifeless planet, got that ring of debris that orbits it? This comic is from Randall Munroe at xkcd.

They don't even mention Pluto anymore.
Just because some cartoon dog was named after it, the, ha, 'powers that be' have decided, against my wishes, to negate Pluto to ... I don't know, what do they call it now ... a solo moon or something ?
Iriots, it is a lump of compressed cosmic dust and frozen water (the solid formally known as ice) floating around in a constant path like a good soldier, and all the admirals and generals just refuse to give it stripes .. nay, worse, they de-striped it.
Thanks for your service, Pluto ... not !
Everyone moans about Pluto but never a thought given to poor Ceres who gained and lost planet status before the upstart even made its presence known.
