Young fans: From left, Yara Clark, 10, Rowan Murray, 11, and Ceci Harader, 11,protest Saturday in Seattle to reinstate Pluto as a planet. The students also wrote letters to the International Astronomical Union, which in 2006 reclassified Pluto as the largest object in the Kuiper Belt. Pluto's existence was confirmed 81 years ago Sunday. You write the cutline. (AP Photo/Seattlepi.com, Joshua Trujillo)

Top Cutlines:

  • 1. When asked to expound on his sign, young Rowan added “Those Pluto scientists are stupider than Jupiter. You could drive a Saturn up Uranus until your Venus shows and you’d still have enough room for some Mercury” -- JohnA.
  • 2. “Pull yer hear out of Uranus and reinstate Pluto, Donald and Mickey” -- Herb Huseland.
  • 3. The president of the International Astronomical Union released a statement decrying the candy fingerprints and thuggish behavior of the young protesters. Meanwhile, Fox News broadcast images of a Bolivian miner’s strike from 1972 and labeled it “Elementary school children turn violent!” -- Idahogie.
