1. We are all going to have to move to Pluto in a few billion years anyway
After the sun blows up into a red giant and devours the Earth; but Pluto will be a warmer planet too.

3. Think of the tides if Jupiter circled the earth.
Of course that couldn't be because we be orbiting Jupiter instead.

4. Nitpick: Larger bodies don't orbit smaller ones.
It's the other way around.
