The discovery suggests the planet gets walloped more often than previously thought, As large as it is, the amount of gravity it exerts and it's proximity to to asteroid belt, it should not really be surprising that it gets hit a lot.

There is of course the theory that Jupiter saves our bacon by vacuuming up most stray comets.

"There is of course the theory that Jupiter saves our bacon by vacuuming up most stray comets." Yes, I have heard that before, too. I think it's a well-accepted theory.

Obama will start an astroid created/saved program as soon as he gets a czar appointed. Apply at whitehouse.gov.

Planetary exloitation!
Jupiter is using it's excessive and nefariously obtained gravity to rob other planets of their rightful comets.
We need a celestial affirmative action program, with comet quotas, redistribution and reparations so the other planets who lost the planetary gravity lottery can be made whole. Only government can right this historical wrong.
It's for the children...
Anyone who disagrees must be an ignorant bigot.

I made the silly assumption that a planet's race couldn't be determined. That's probably because I'm a white male.
It's up to the exploited planets to define what race is. I'll bet Pluto has plenty to say about the matter, but Jupiter's keeping the other planets down.
And that Saturn, well its just a bitter clinger that better watch its back when the proletariat planets upset the solar system patriarchy after the revolution.

Jupiterians heard that Madman Achmadanjad said he had the Missle of Death. Jupiterians aren’t waiting for him to shoot it at them. They are being preemptive.

And we have the audacity to classify asteroids into three groups, carboniferous, stony and metallic.... How imperialistic of us. As to assum the Stony ones are inferior to the metalic ones....
