I don't have a link, but I have it from a reliable source that a 10th planet, that orbits he sun every 288 years or so, has been discovered. Anyone hear of this?

I read somewhere that it was part of an asteroid belt, and not really a planet. As it turns out, Pluto is also part of this asteroid belt, and if astronomers knew what they know now about Plute, they would never have classified it as a planet.Concerning the difference between man and the jackass: some observers hold that there isn't any. But this wrongs the jackass.

This is OLD news. I learned of this over 20 years ago....in high school. For the past 20+ years, scientists have speculated that Pluto's eliptical orbit was due to the gravitational pull of a VERY LARGE planet acting upon it. This 'new' planet has often been referred to as 'Planet X'. Original, huh?"When you guys get home and face an anti-war protester, look him in the eyes and shake his hand.

So if there is a new, tenth planet, they're going to have to come up with a name for it, aren't they?
No reason why we can't lend our creative inspiration to the world of science.
My suggestions and reasonings:
Goofy - Pluto needs a friend. Plus, the name is rooted in ambiguity -- is Goofy a dog, or not? A planet, or not?
Planet Reebok - The logical progression from corporate sponsorship of stadiums and events.
Beatnik - It's, like, totally far out, man.
Go ahead an give it your best shot. Heck, they got away with 'Uranus'.Caution and worry never accomplished anything.

2 Scientists hanging around at NASA suddenly find an un-named, large, mass.
"Wow, another planet!"
"you, idiot, thats not a planet!"
"I'm telling you, that's a planet"
"Oh, shove it up your ***!!!!"
It was then determined to be a planet, and when asked what they wanted it named, there seemed only one logical choice...
