Here are some things that stood out to me in Week 14 of the 2009 NFL season.Josh Cribbs is one of the most dynamic players in the league. I know it's been a tough season in Cleveland, but people should be lining up to get NFL tickets just to see this guy. Cribbs made two huge plays that essentially won the game for the Browns on Thursday night against the reigning champion Pittsburgh Steelers. He was asking for a new contract before this season started and he better get one this offseason. Cribbs is dangerous as a returner, runner and receiver.

For many years we have believed that there are nine planets in our galaxy. However in 2005 some astronomers have discovered so many objects in the Kuiper Belt. In this belt they also found a bigger object than Pluto which is one of the answers to the question why is Pluto not a planet. A big object has been found and they named it 2003 UB313, later renamed to Eris. The size of the Eris object is estimated at twenty five percent heavier than Pluto. Eris is bigger because of the ice mixed with rocks found there. The astronomers had to make a clear decision on how to define a planet. They were confused on how to classify Eris. They may recognize it as an object in the Kuiper Belt or it can automatically become a planet. The second answer to the question why is Pluto not a planet is because of the definition clearly made by the association of astronomers in Prauge in 2006. One of the definitions given at the convention would have still made Pluto a planet but it would also include Ceres and Eris. It would actually make twelve planets, if it was the final definition that everyone agreed on. Another version however prevailed. The other definition kept nine planets only. It defined that...more
