Two years ago the planet Pluto was kicked out the planet lineup. Why? Because Pluto was just to small to be called a planet. Now the Pluto lovers are fighting back. Revisit the definition of a planet which hadn't been changed since ancient Greece. A planet must have three characteristics:
1. orbit round the sun 2. be big enough that its gravity makes it round 3. It needs to have cleared its path of debris by flinging the debris with its gravity or absorbing it.
Conclusion?
Pluto becomes a dwarf planet just like his moon Charon and the giant asteroid Ceres.

The Brown Recluse Spiders is native for the USA (ohio,Gulf of Mexico)you can see it on the map. If you're bitten by this spider you will suffer a great amount of pain and some things like this happen.
1. You could get a volcano lesion (a hole in the flesh...) 2. The open wound could range from a little spot to the span of an adult hand!
Fortunatly it's extremly rare that people die from its bite. Recovering from this wound would take at least some months. They can grow up to 16 inch in wide! The places that you can encounter them are attics, shoes box , basements, clothing..(they preffer dark places).
They aren't deadly but like I said the wound needs months to heal.
This man is risking to be bitten but listen to what he says. Do not try this at home! The wound of this bite is just disgusting to see. Spiders won't bite you if you don't harm them, but spiders are night creatures so if you accedentaly encounter them at night...you know what will happen.
In this fascinating two-volume encyclopedia, author George M. Eberhart provides a comprehensive catalog of nearly 1,000 cryptids—unknown animals usually reported through eyewitness accounts and not yet described by science. Cryptids are the stuff of folklore, hoaxes, and genuine scientific breakthroughs. There are 400 now-classified cryptids once considered either extinct or pure fantasy. The cryptozoologist's job is to strip away the myth, misidentification, and mystery—and separate fact from fiction.
