In short: small round things beyond Neptune that orbit the sun and have lots of rocky neighbors.

That's all I need to know! hahahaha. I like "Plutoid" but I must say I still feel bad for Pluto. Is it Pluto's fault he is smaller than everyone else? He is 9 billion miles away from the sun. Maybe he didn't get enough to grow.

I wonder if they'll ever rename Uranus to something else?
