I Still Think It's a Planet
By using new instruments, scientists have determined that Pluto's atmosphere is some 50 degrees warmer than its surface. The difference leaves the atmosphere a balmy -180, so make sure to drink plenty of water when you go cloud surfing!
All that methane?
Those damn Plutonians should knock off the chili-dogs and sauerkraut!!

It just wouldn't have any after that...

Posted by: scott on March 4, 2009 04:10 PMThere's oxygen there, it's just in liquid form, IIRC.
Which makes it so much more fun, honestly. If you could pull it off correctly you might be able to get a planet-sized FAB.
oh shizznit, that'd be big and bright (but not so much loud as you'd have to watch it from off-planet).
