pluto monkey

Pluto \Plu"to\ (pl[=u]"t[-o]), pr. n. [L., fr. Gr. Plou`twn.]
   1. (Class. Myth.) The son of Saturn and Rhea, brother of
      Jupiter and Neptune; the dark and gloomy god of the Lower
      World.
      [1913 Webster]

   2. The ninth planet of the Solar System, the smallest (5700
      km radius) and most distant from the sun. The suggestion
      has been made that it more closely resembles a large close
      comet than a planet. Its orbit has an eccentricity of
      0.248, larger than that of any other planet; it varies
      from 4.44 to 7.37 billion km distance from the sun.

            Pluto is an oddball among its eight sister planets.
            It's the smallest in both size and mass, and has the
            most elliptical orbit. It moves in a plane tilted
            markedly away from the other planets' orbits.
            Moreover, Pluto is the only planet made almost
            entirely of ice.                      --Ron Cohen
