"In response to the news Thursday that a team of astronomers had demoted the icy little sphere to "dwarf planet" status, the Seven Dwarfs themselves took time off from hacking away in the diamond mines and romancing Snow White to issue this statement, via their friends at Walt Disney World Resort:
"Although we think it's Dopey that Pluto has been downgraded to a dwarf planet, which has made some people Grumpy and others just Sleepy, we are not Bashful in saying we would be Happy if Disney's Pluto would join us as an eighth dwarf. We think this is just what the Doc ordered and is nothing to Sneeze at."" [E Online News]
