>I wonder if jupiter has enough mass to do that?

The last piece I read
said that Jupiter would need
to be 80 times

its current mass to
reach even brown dwarf size.
I'm hoping some guy

misplaced a decimal
or used bad rounding routines.
I'd like to see it.

I'd like to see it.

Me too but I'm not so sure it would be a good thing to see from earth. Seems like sparking a star disturbs things quite a bit and we don't need another heavy impact period.
