And here I thought the Texan definition of a planet was “them thar big ole sparkully thangs up in the sky”….

(Waaah…I miss good ole Texas now that I’m in Kansas!)

Ah of course, forgive my Antipodean ignorance :-)

To be perfectly clear: everything else revolves around Texas.

But what does Texas revolve around?

I think I would propose an alternative:

A planet is anything larger than the ego of a Texan.

This would require, of course, a size considerably bigger than this proposal.
