Pluto: Proof That Size Matters

Posted by Alex in Science & Tech on April 24, 2009 at 2:15 pm



Pluto: Proof that Size Matters (just $9.95) – modeled by Ashton

Almost three years ago, the general public was rocked by science: astronomers at the International Astronomical Union booted off Pluto from the list of planets orbiting the Sun. It’s just a "reclassification," these astronomers insisted, but we all know better. Pluto is Proof that Size Matters ;)

Okay, so it’s a couple of years late, but it’s still very funny. Here’s a new geeky T-shirt design by Chris Murphy (an excellent illustrator for print and web, by the way, if you’re ever interested in hiring one).

    Pluto wasn't unplaneted because of size; it was unplaneted because it crosses Neptune's orbit.

    Pluto:
    Proof that clearing surrounding celestial debris from your orbit matters

    Size matters when ordering shirts.

    Pluto's demotion also has to do with its wildly elliptical and out-of-the-plane of all the other planets orbits, making it more akin to the long period comets/asteroids of the Oort cloud.

    Pluto may be small but it takes a long time to be published into the national journal of science.

    If size matters, maybe you'd sell more shirts if you had a model with a bigger rack.

    LOL @ Ali S.!!!

    But we were all thinking it. If size matters, that model needs bigger boobs.

    I don't get it... are we assuming Pluto is "proof" b/c it was small and therefore nobody gives a crap about small things?

    ... I didn't know the small size was the reason for excluding Pluto =(

    It doesn't seem very logical...

    The use of the different fonts, all caps, sans serif plus non serif... It burns the eyes.

    Anyone else find it slightly ironic that a picture involving Pluto was taken outside of Disneyland? (You can see the monorail in the background.)

    Ha! Meatwad get the money, G.
