Calistoga

The best domestically produced mineral water, much better than Perrier or that Italian stuff. Like some of the other better things there are to drink, it comes from the geothermal region of California's Wine Country.

Their regular, non-sparkling spring water is just re-branded Arrowhead water, which is the result of both Calistoga and Arrowhead having been bought out by Nestlé.
If you must have mineral water that's better than Calistoga, get Topo Chico from Mexico.

Pluto

An excuse for a whole bunch of astronomers to argue a lot and author new or updated books about Astronomy.
Q: How many planets are there?

A1: This week, last week, or next week?

A2: Nine; we've known that for years. No, other Pluto-like objects are planets too, so there are twelve. No, Pluto-like objects are not planets, so there are only eight.

Afterthought: Mercury isn't much bigger; can't we disqualify it too?
