The new definition is that for a body to qualify as a planet is that:
  1. It must have enough gravity that it is round, or nearly so.
  2. It must be the gravitationally dominant body in its orbital neighbourhood.
Dave won´t like beeing called a minor or even solar system body, I fear.
We ought to protest. :|
Oh yes, we can't have that happening :eek:

Let's start the action group Free Planet Dave! ;D
