Heavenly body

Who says size doesn't matter? After years and years of being told that it was not the important issue, all of a sudden it seems a particular kind of heavenly body is entirely all about size. Thus, a committe of seven good men and true assembled today in Prague have ended years of intense speculation and declared that on 24th August their peers must vote to correct a mistake about Pluto made 70 years ago. Seems like poor Pluto was miss assessed back then but, with committee approval, and endorsement from everyone else, can be rebranded and redeemed as a Pluton along with former unknowns Xena and Charon ... such a relief to know that the really weighty issues of the universe are being tackled.
