Yes it is
I don't believe the Almighty has spoken on the matter, but since it is an arbitrary definition, I will arbitrarily declare that Pluto is indeed a planet. It has three moons, an atmosphere, and 75 years of precedent. I also support the original Draft Resolution 5 for GA-XXVI: Definition of a Planet that was presented at the IAU Planet Definition Committee in August of 2006:
A planet is a celestial body that (a) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, and (b) is in orbit around a star, and is neither a star nor a satellite of a planet.
Pluto qualifies as a planet according to this definition. And if this complicates matter because of bodies like Eris Sedna, Pluto should simply be granted an exemption.

Lego Printer using felt tip pen.
I had a printer for my TRS-80 that used small ball-point pens. It had 4 pens, black, red, green and blue and could draw some pretty cool shit.
Edit: After doing some searching I found it. It was a called CGP-115 Printer, though technically it's a plotter. It could print graphics like this Lego printer by doing lines, but when printing text it would actually write the letter by moving the pen. It could draw perfect circles and diagonal lines. You can see some of the stuff it could draw in this picture of it.
