&quot;The map is wrong as it still lists Pluto as a planet!!!&quot;

Whoa, three exclamation marks.  Calm down, take a deep breath...

While it is true that Pluto is not a planet, it is still out there, and it is still a dwarf planet.  Maybe the dogtags didn&#039;t have space for the word &quot;dwarf&quot;?  :wink:</description>

		<description>Aliens land. They abduct a guy. He demands they take him to a star named after him and pulls out his $40.+ &quot;International Star Registry&quot; &quot;official&quot; document.

The aliens laugh.  &quot;Never heard of that,&quot; they say. &quot;We can however use the names from your International Astronomical Union.&quot; They open a floating electronic holographic page. &quot;Hmmmm, Let&#039;s see, your star looks like its HR 7001.&quot;  &quot;Welcome aboard Mr. HR 7001.&quot;</description>

		<description>Sorry to break it to you, but Alien abductions are all localized. Anybody who tells you aliens take you on some grand tour of the universe are filthy liars. Aliens are only interested in abducting people for the purposes of intimidating them. I imagine wearing the dog tags would only upset the aliens. I mean how would you like it if somebody started telling you how to do your job? &#039;Yeah I&#039;m from Earth.. So don&#039;t lose me now&#039;
The aliens would probably dump them on a different planet just to spite them.</description>
