poor pluto
pluto was in the news again. hubble (i think) took some pretty pictures of it and it's moon charon dancing in the heavens. kinda pretty. kinda sad too. if you think about it. i mean they are like lovers forever constrained to just dancing. a plutonic relationship, if you will. they will never touch. never meet. to never merge in some sort of happy cosmic climax. a union that would be greater than the sum of the parts. perchance to achieve the recognition afforded to eight others in the solar system. but alas. it is not to be. they are destined to forever be victims of pared planethood.
