The people who say Pluto isn't a planet are racists.
I have accepted that Pluto is a dwarf planet, being that there are dozens of dwarf planets in the Solar System (Eris, Quoar, Sedna, etc.)
March 23, 2178 will be Pluto's first anniversary since it's discovery :p

By the way,that is a better picture of Pluto then it's name sake "ruler of the underworld"

The word occurs frequently in the Bible, and generally in a metaphorical sense. In ( Jeremiah 9:15 ; 23:15 ; Lamentations 3:15 Lamentations 3:19 ) wormwood is symbolical of bitter calamity and sorrow; unrighteous judges are said to "turn judgment to wormwood." ( Amos 5:7 ) The Orientals typified sorrows, cruelties and calamities of any kind by plants of a poisonous or bitter nature.
10 And the third angel sounded the trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, burning as it were a torch, and it fell on the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters:
11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood. And the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
Revelations 8:10-11
In the Ukrainian Language, Chernobyl means mugroot or wild wormwood.
