When people get upset about pluto, I'll just tell them if pluto is planet, so is Ceres. Which then results in mindless staring because they never even heard about Ceres...

And Cedna. And Eris. And Makemake. And Haumea. And...

Yeah. Removing pluto was the more conservative option.

There are about 200 of these space objects that are roughly the size of Pluto.

So either we live in an 8 planetary system, or a 200+ planetary system. But it will never be 9 again.
