BRING BACK PLUTO AS A PLANET!!!

As declared by NASA in 2006, Pluto is not a planet anymore because of its small size and unstable elliptical orbit. Not only is Pluto a long-lost homie, but something we should bring back. Why?

1. Size should not matter! There are celestial bodies out there bigger than Jupiter, but we still consider it to be a planet. Likewise, the same should go for our buddy Pluto; it should be taken out of the dwarf planet category and put into a planet category just like Mercury, Venus, Earth, Jupiter, Uranus and Mars.

2. According to Oxfard's dictionary by definition a planet is an astronomical body moving in elliptical orbit around a star. Although Pluto falls in the orbit of our sun, a giant hot gas vital for life on Earth, it matches the definition of a planet. Thus, we should bring back Pluto for the aforementioned cause.

3. What about the mnemonic device "my very educated mother just served us nine pizzas"? Surely, we cannot leave this behind either. As a personal anecdote, I remember having to use this memory technique to remember all of my planets back in grade-school. What about now? The Pluto in P for "pizza" deserves JUSTICE! 

PROVE NASA WRONG. MAKE A DIFFERENCE. BRING OUR LONG-LOST PLANET BACK.
