The article is split up into lots of pages and there doesn't seem to be a print version. These are the pages with actual content:<p>1) Pluto was actually detected in 1919, but no one noticed. <a href="http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/03/13/ten-things-you-dont-know-about-pluto/?pid=33" rel="nofollow">http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/03/13/te...</a><p>2) Pluto's orbit crosses Neptune, but they'll never collide. <a href="http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/03/13/ten-things-you-dont-know-about-pluto/?pid=43" rel="nofollow">http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/03/13/te...</a><p>3) Pluto is the biggest survivor of Neptune's wrath. <a href="http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/03/13/ten-things-you-dont-know-about-pluto/?pid=40" rel="nofollow">http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/03/13/te...</a><p>4) [our estimates of] Pluto is shrinking! <a href="http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/03/13/ten-things-you-dont-know-about-pluto/?pid=35" rel="nofollow">http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/03/13/te...</a><p>5) It's not the biggest object out there in the black <a href="http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/03/13/ten-things-you-dont-know-about-pluto/?pid=39" rel="nofollow">http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/03/13/te...</a><p>6) It has an atmosphere <a href="http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/03/13/ten-things-you-dont-know-about-pluto/?pid=36" rel="nofollow">http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/03/13/te...</a><p>7) It's a double planet <a href="http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/03/13/ten-things-you-dont-know-about-pluto/?pid=41" rel="nofollow">http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/03/13/te...</a><p>8) We have maps of its surface, even though telescopes can barely see any features. <a href="http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/03/13/ten-things-you-dont-know-about-pluto/?pid=42" rel="nofollow">http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/03/13/te...</a><p>9) Its pole is tilted more than Uranus's (122 vs. 98 degrees) <a href="http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/03/13/ten-things-you-dont-know-about-pluto/?pid=38" rel="nofollow">http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/03/13/te...</a><p>10) It's called an ice world but it's almost 70% rock on the inside. <a href="http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/03/13/ten-things-you-dont-know-about-pluto/?pid=37" rel="nofollow">http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/03/13/te...</a><p>And because it is on topic: <a href="http://xkcd.com/473/" rel="nofollow">http://xkcd.com/473/</a>
