Another rejected DC hero was P-Man, who fought crime by flinging gold coins at evildoers whilst wearing a really gay hat.

Correction: Hades was a Greek. Pluto was a Roman.

The joke wasn't lost on me, it just wasn't funny the second time around.

aww guys, I can't be expected to go back to 2003. Although I gotta admit that is suddenly creepy that such a post exists.

also, just as a side note;

http://www.answers.com/topic/pluto?method=6

while I do not take everything I read online as fact;

Pluto, in Greek religion and mythology, god of the underworld, son of Kronos and Rhea; also called Hades. After the fall of the Titans, Pluto and his brothers Zeus and Poseidon divided the universe, and Pluto was awarded everything underground. There, with Persephone as his queen, he ruled over Hades. Not only a god of the dead, he is identified as a god of the earth's fertility. The Romans derived their god of the dead—Orcus, Dis, or Dis Pater—from Pluto.

but then, I guess you are being an anus, or uranus or some clever pun in that regard.

I have no time for Answers.com, particularly since they are wrong. It is a simple fact that "Pluto" is the Roman name for "Hades" (and Hades is also the Greek word for the underworld, the too are synonymous). The Romans adopted the Greek gods upon conquering their civilization, but they renamed them with their own names. If in doubt, consult Wikipedia

All of the planets in the solar system are named after the Roman gods, not Greek.

Now, enough of this (ur)anal retardation!

It's amazing how many people don't know simple facts like "Pluto was the Roman name of the God who ruled the Underworld" or "Don't drink antifreeze".

Kanesh, just because it tastes sweet doesn't mean it belongs in your stomach.

But, yeah. The Roman pantheon included Jupiter, Mars, Uranus, Pluto, Venus, Mercury and several others. I personally prefer the Greek gods, but at least I know the difference. I'm sorry Answer.com is confused, but that doesn't mean you have to be.

You never studied greek mythology in school, did you? Or any form of basic planetary books.

Relying on Answers.com for support of your backwards knowledge is like relying on a plumber for advice on intestinal surgery.

How about this:

1. Go to an actual physical library.
2. Check out a few BOOKS about basic greek mythology and roman mythology.
3. If you find that indeed anyone is wrong back up your facts with 3 or more legitimate sources.

BTW - the earth's fertility Goddess in Roman mythology was ceres, from which we derive our word for cereal or grain.

Kanesh, the simple fact is that in this case, Answer.com is the one that's confused. Take it from an actual mythology buff who has spent the better part of the last twenty years devouring this stuff, much the way Kronos devoured his children Poseidon and Hades, among others... none of whom were "Pluto".

Pluto is of the Disney Pantheon. No way around it.

Dont twist the words around. Find yourself 3 legitimate sources. If you study enough legitimate books by legitimate people who have studied this crap rather than looking for your mythological knowledge on ONE website, then you're more likely to find the answer. Didnt they ever teach you that taking your information from one source could lead you to the wrong conclusion? This is why things are tested and studied by more than one person.

Listen to the tentacle monster. Though their ways are strange to us, their wisdom is worth listening to. Though I'd keep them away from any Japanese schoolgirls in your area.

Nice strawman argument there, Kaenash.

"HERE IS MY JOKE"
"Uh, jokes not too funny since you got the factual element wrong."
"OH YEAH?"
"yeah, actually. Here's the proof."
"WELL YOUR PROOF IS DUMB. LET'S CHANGE THE SUBJECT TO THAT SO THAT NO ONE WILL NOTICE MY ERROR."
