As soon as I heard the news, the first thing I thought of was "Now they gotta rewrite that Magic School Bus book."
I can honestly say it was from the book that I first learned the planets of the solar system.
Haha, same here. They'll also hafta redo the episode, since now apparently Ms. Frizzle was not on an "outer planet".

Ha ha. I'm no genius but my friend and I both remember questioning the logic of calling Pluto a planet in school, the teacher said "Uranus and Pluto "change places" every so years" like you mean Pluto orbits Uranus? As in, Pluto is a satellite? Oh and it's actually smaller than other moons? In what way is this supposed to be a planet?
F$cking science. They figured out the universe's age before being able to define a planet. But that's the way of it.
Total side note, but when they visited Pluto on the show and Arnold took off his helmet and froze solid, that freaked my *beep* out as a child. There's no possible way he could have survived that.
shareActually, it is still a planet. It's classified as a dwarf planet.
