Does anyone know whether this Pluto probe is designed to learn why he is the only one of Mickey's friends who doesn't talk, walk upright or wear white gloves? What's the methodology?

Joking aside, Pluto is thought to be a mars or earthlike planet, in a suspended state of growth. they would like to know why it stopped aggregating material to itself and ended up as an off kilter orpahan.

I'm hoping that information becomes available soon as well. He's Mickey's dog yet Goofy is a dog and has vocal capabilities and gloves. Curious, very curious.

Okay...But what's in it for me? Knowing why Pluto is off kilter won't bring me any closer to owning the quilted leather Marc Jacobs bag I've been drooling over. And it still leaves the issue of canine gloves unresolved.

Slightly off-topic, since Pluto is naked, is the question of why the clothes-wearing characters bother with the formality of white gloves but don't wear pants.

Another enigma. Also, how do they drive having to sit on tails? I would find that uncomfortable.

How does Goofy drive at all? He doesn't have opposible thumbs? And why does Mickey have thumbs?
 
I think they wear the gloves to avoid getting the cooties from all their unpantsed friends.

How do they pay for things? and why does Donald not get that speech impediment fixed?

And Pluto doesn't get to wear any gloves because he's their bitch. It makes sense.

that's right, he wears a collar and nothing else.
 
I thought they already knew that Pluto just wandered into the orbit it's in now. It really wasn't part of the original solar system but a wandering chuck of rock that was close enough to be pulled into an orbit around the sun.

What the hell are you talking about? He chases those two chipmunks around.

Well tell him to stop before he hits his head on the tree....too late. That's gonna leave a mark.

God, Zeb. Way to make the poor animal feel even more like a freak and an outcast. This isn't like you.

Sorry, but it just poped in to my head and came out my fingers. I'll try not to let it happen again, I promise.
 
Oh....I saw the title and thought this was about where the WMD's were hidden...
 
I thought it was an unmanned proble to Bluto. I assumed Popeye was behind it.

I've seen it theorized to be a lost moon of uranus, as well as just a kupier belt body of unuslal size.
 
I just knew someone would have to drag uranus into it sooner or later......

It is a probe after all....

Thanks, Tx. I had a huge bet riding on this, and I was starting to worry...When my new Lexus SC arrives, would you like to have my old Honda?

Actually, Pluto has three moons of its own. Charon is the largest of the three moons and the only one known before this year.
