I'm a tad confused by this one - the evidence for Phoebe being planet-like seems to correspond closely to it's similarity to Pluto, which was famously demoted from planethood not too long ago. My brain hurts!

I still feel sorry for Pluto.

Who cares? I live on Mother Earth.

Who cares about anything? Let's all not talk to each other!

I was talking about the topic of whether a moon is a moon or not. It does not pertain to anything but that. So that statement of yours is invalid.

My post was valid within the frame of reference of a spot of gentle amusement for anyone receptive to enjoy.

I like pie.

 

[Doctor John]

I'm not surprised, pie is good.
