That was an interesting assortment of details about Pluto and it status as a planet and a few things I didn't know about this distant neighbor to Earth. Earth itself though wasn't always the way it is now with even a three mile thick layer of ice over what is now North America. Could Pluto also evolve that way in Millions of years ? Who knows, maybe ! Thanks for the posting anyway.

I think it should still be considered a planet. Its other oddity is out there with the jovial planets is not gas but rock.
