Questions that must be asked

Now that Pluto is no longer a planet ... wouldn't that totally screw up everybody's astrology charts?

Think of the astrologers, people! They'll be working night and day dealing with this!

To paraphrase:
Astrologers are a superstitious and cowardly lot.

Well ... yes, obviously.

But it's also meant as a not-so-subtle dig at the "sky is falling" congingent who are going nuts about Pluto not being a planet anymore. I mean, yes, it's a bit startling to have eight planets instead of nine (or, as the case may be, twelve or so). But there are "Save Pluto" websites and petitions popping up all over the place. I mean ... get a grip, people!

Oh no, believe me, I got that.
There are "Save Pluto" sites? Where do I sign up? ^_^

I'm not into astrology at all, but I've heard that they are going back to older-pre 1930s charts now or sticking with Pluto, just 'cause. No biggie to me, as I say. Pluto-schmuto, save some people or something!

Reminds me of when they smashed that thing into that comet, and some astrologers tried to sue.
