Carlton. Karyn Parsons still looks cute though.

She used to irk the hell out of me. It was like she was Fresh Prince's answer to Lisa Bonet on the Cosby show. I mean, how do you act soooo different from everybody else? All valley girl n shit. Ugh. 90210 with a relaxer.

Of course that was an act lol from other films I seen her in (and from her conversations), she seems way less stuck up.

I just with they would have made her a little less "OMG" "Like seriously" and "ewww".

Plus all that wrist bending and bouncing when she walked. I liked tatiyana and the girls who played Will's love interests. Oh and I like the original Mom played by Janet Huberts.

Damn....going back in time. Shit.

@ the kid from the Nevermind album. Damn, time really does fly.

What happened to Pluto again? I never understood taking away its planetary status. How rude!

It's not big enough to be a planet. Having an orbit around the sun isn't enough. Halley's Comet has an orbit around the sun. As do mutiple thousands of other comets.

[Edited]

Historically, the solar system was composed of Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, the Sun, and a smattering of moons. Then comets were realized and asteroids were discovered, and Uranus and Neptune were found. The solar system was still pretty cut-and-dry: There was a star, around which there were eight planets. Between the fourth and fifth was a belt of asteroids that were tiny bodies significantly smaller than any planet. Around most planets were moons.

Pluto's discovery in 1930 and its subsequent classification as a planet was not questioned because another planet was expected to be there. But lately, many more objects have been discovered around, within, and outside of Pluto's orbit. For this reason, and for revised theories of how the solar system, formed and what objects it should contain far from the Sun, most modern astronomers no longer consider a planet, but rather it is the "King Comet" of the Kuiper Belt. The announcement in Summer 2005 that an object had been discovered that is about 25% larger in diameter than Pluto has further pushed this debate into the forefront of semantics.

So what is a planet? Speaking purely by the numbers, one could consider it as a size: Anything larger than Pluto is a planet. But this doesn't work because all four of the Galilean Satellites aroundJupiter would then be considered planets, as would Earth's moon. If the cut-off were then instead placed at Mercury's size, Jupiter's moon Ganymede would still be a planet, and it's moon Callisto would be just 30 km shy of planetary status.

Instead, one could think of a planet as a body that only orbits the Sun. This is a problem because then every asteroid and comet would be a planet. So then if one considered eccentricity: Any body with an eccentricity less than Mercury's would be a planet. That would eliminate Pluto, but it would allow many asteroids to be planets. You should be starting to get an idea of how difficult this is and why there has been such debate.

Currently, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) is the only official body that declares the status of an object as a planet, moon, asteroid, etc. If Pluto were discovered today, there is no doubt that it would be considered a Kuiper Belt Object. But it has historically been considered a planet, and thus far, the IAU has not chosen to change its status. The announcement of KBO 2003 UB313 having a size larger than Pluto has cast a new wrinkle into the debate. The IAU has yet to decide whether or not to grant it planetary status. But no matter which way it decides, not everyone will be happy. Until that ruling happens, the definition of "planet" is still open to a wide range of interpretation.

Most of that didn't make me feel old, because I didn't recognize any of it.

Honestly, I was thinking the exact same thing.

I actually think it's interesting and pretty cool that we can hold "all that" in the palm of our hands now. Because they made those predictions back then and nobody believed them. Too bad "they" were wrong about so many other things.

The Pluto thing is stupid, but probably correct. Because if estimates, assumptions and theories turn out to be correct there are many, MANY more "planets" of Pluto's size in far-Earth orbits. Still stinks, though.

WTH happened to Lindsay Lohan? Was she always broken? I don't know a dang thing about her.

The Harry Potter kids really don't look all that different.... other than the fact they they're dripping with money from their paychecks for the last three films.

Nintendo 64. 16 years old and STILL the best game system ever. Fact! No, no. It's a fact!

Ya know, honestly, what this list has me realizing is that I'm really at peace with the age I am right now. I'm not so old that the things I enjoyed over the last 10-15 years are uncool, nor have I lost touch with what's considered cool right now. I can picture a day in the not too distant future when neither of those will apply, but for now, I'm a'ight.

Damn, if I wasn't already forced to sip on the age straw, you just made me do it!

That Back to the Future stuff really makes me feel old. The 50's felt like a whole other world to me, and the 80's are just a few years ago.

Butterfinger BB's where my favorite candy for awhile. I used to get that & a coke everyday after football practice..... i guess i just never noticed they stopped selling them

this makes me feel young

omgosh, am i really THAT old already. how depressing. i actually remember most of that, seems like not so long ago to me but when you put it in numbers...ouch.

Yeah that's quite odd. I think they still sell old Butterfinger's though. MAN that used to be my shit, the original Butterfinger. Oh my God, you put a bite into it and your mouth automatically melted. That's how good it was. Damn I missed those days.

I'm surprised this wasn't on the list:

My favorite toy to play outside when I was 8, 9.

I just remembered one of my favorite toys as a kid outside to play was those mini-trucks that you could ride in. I had like two. A mini-Jeep Ranger and a mini-I forgot what it was (Corvette or something). My first dog, Tank, chew one of them when me and my parents went to Richmond to visit relatives.

I gotta find a pic of one of those so I can refresh people's memories.

I meant to say it was a Hot Wheels Jeep lol:

remember "bib wheels?"

Came out 33 years ago yesterday.

well i feel quite young simply becouse i hadnt heard of most of that stuff!

out of the top ten i had heard of 3

what the heck is number one about?? a simpsons character?

He was her friend for 13 years? lol he was patient as fuck. Talk about the ultimate friend zoned situation lool
