Big Mac bosses in little “planet” blunder

By Michael MacLeod

FAST food clown Ronald McDonald has been slated by scientists for conning kids into believing Pluto is still a planet.

The tiny space rock was officially judged to be too small to qualify as a planet three years ago.

But space geeks have spotted a recent batch of McDonald’s Happy Meal boxes still stating: “There are nine planets in total.”

Now burger bosses admit they are “aware” of the International Astronomical Union’s (IAU) ruling.

Members of the 10,000-strong IAU took over two years debating how many planets were in the solar system.
