Uh, Folks, There Are No People on Pluto

I am glad that some of you had fun with last Friday's spoof column about a lawsuit by Plutonians (whatever they are) angry about the declassfication of their planet to "dwarf" status. But I am stunned that some of you, apparently, believed the story to be true. Sure, I included the types of silly statements that plaintiffs and defendants make all the time during the start of head-turning cases like this. But, (and forgive me for having to formally point this out) there are no public-interest groups on Pluto (or anything else, for that matter, that could generate a lawsuit).

I did, however, spell "flack" wrong (I spelled it flak) which one reader pointed out. Sorry about that.

Back soon with another post. This one not a spoof of anything.
