Name that planet, FReepers!

Astrologers are all messed up now.

Professor Brown wants it to be called 'Lila'. Here's his webpage on the discovery. Note; this is the second large object declared found in the last twenty four hours - a smaller object was in the news earlier today.

Just remember, "It Came from Planet X".

This is the same Kuiper object as on the other threads.

[PetroniusMaximus]

Can we send the liberals there?

[headsonpikes]

Kucinski.

[thoughtomator]

Let's call it "Wlar", which stands for "Where Liberals Are Right".

[decal]

It's insignificantly small, as intelligent as a rock, and waaaaaaay out there - call it "Howarddean."

[PetroniusMaximus]

Well, it's a "lump" that's out in the cold - far from the limelight...

How about "Planet Gore"

Astronomers Find a New Planet in Solar System

In a not unrelated story, Howard Dean announced that he has finally found something for the Democrat party to stand for.. Planets smaller than Mercury aren't planets. This announcement drew immediate protests from the AFL-CIO who was already considering unionizing smaller planetoids into a group known as 'StarUnion' "Just because you're small, this doesn't mean that others can define you," noted Congressman Dennis Kucinich, a bitter rival of Dean.

Senator Hilary Clinton's office declined to comment, taking a wait and see attitude that is very common to her mainstream image these days. Former Vice President Al Gore couldn't be reached for comment, which is likely a good thing.

Uranus is already taken. How about Urectum?

[uglybiker]

It's Nibiru! The Anunakki have returned!

Oh NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

[fat city]

Enough of this nonsense! Pluto should be grandfathered-in to the solar system and we should ignore all these newfangled bodies until Disney names a cartoon character after them and they rise to a position worthy of our respect.

[Romish_Papist]

They're coming, and they want our air.

[softwarecreator]

Add a 10th planet to the solar system - or possibly subtract one

The astronomers giveth and the astronomers taketh away.

[the invisib1e hand]

it's Utopia. Send all leftists there.

[Better Dead Than Red]

Who cares what it will be called, can we mine it for Naquada?

[mewzilla]

Cerberus.

[Publius6961]

Why did I know this was coming?

Ignorance triumphs again? This story first appeared two days ago, and if memory serves me right, its orbit does not meet the requirements of the definition of a planet.
