Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Neptune have not cleared their orbital neighbourhoods either. Earth co-orbits with 10,000 near-Earth asteroids, and Jupiter has 100,000 Trojan asteroids in its orbital path.

If Wikipedia doesn't cut it. Original article

I'm adding information I didn't give before.

Not all bumps are bad.

Re: Pluto's Demotion

I don't get how a planet could have things in its orbital path.

The planet would collide with the object then there would no longer be an object in its path.

Unless you're saying that the object in its path is on a strange orbit, much like the strange orbit Pluto is on. In which case, I submit: Who gives a ****. Pluto's not a planet stop bitching. You should all be glad that it was given classification as "dwarf planet" and not simply called "large asteroid".

Re: Pluto's Demotion

I never said anywhere that I disagreed with the decision. I'm just saying the standards they made up in order to make that decision is faulty.
