    While Pluto was downgraded from a planet to a dwarf planet, or “plutoid,” several astronomers argued that Pluto and other small objects similar to Pluto should all be classified as planets because they have cores, geology, seasons, moons, atmospheres, clouds, and polar caps in many cases.

    Of all the primates, man has the largest penis. The gorilla has a two-inch penis, while the chimpanzee's is three inches. The blue whale has the largest penis in the animal kingdom: 11 feet.

    (now we know what Mrs. HCP means when she says he's hung like a gorilla)
