Thanks to the recent debate about the status of Pluto, monocles are <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=D-IK9UPWJAM">back in the public eye</a> (YouTube link). Astronomer <a href="http://www.popularscience.co.uk/biographies/moore.htm">Sir Patrick Moore</a> has become something of a celebrity not only for his arguments in favor of demoting Pluto, but also for his keen fashion sense.

Now that Moore's side has been vindicated, do you feel more likely to embrace the monocle, or do you cling to the outmoded idea that it's more suited to pompous but bumbling villians like <a href="http://www.patfullerton.com/batman/pix/penguin/penguin1966-meredith.jpg">the Penguin</a> or <a href="http://cache.jalopnik.com/cars/images/werner_klemperer.jpg">Colonel Klink</a> and greedy robber-barons like <a href="http://www.advertisingiconmuseum.com/inside/c11/3237037.gif">Mr. Peanut</a>?

How does your opinion on the Pluto question affect your views of monocles? If you're a supporter of 'planet' Pluto, will you struggle against the rising tide of monocle proliferation with all your passion? If you think Moore and the International Astronomical Union are right, will you start wearing a monocle as a sign of solidarity?
