Sedna can't be a planet.

Sedna can't be a planet because the planets are named after Roman
gods. Sedna is named after an Inuit one, therefore it isn't a planet.

But we already know Earth isn't a planet- it's the only one that doesn't wander!

In that case Earth isn't a planet as well.

Where did you go to school my fair haired friend?? You never heard of the
Roman God Earth? He was an understudy of the Roman God California, the God
of welfare.

I had thought that myself, but in fact, it is a planet, spanning 180
degrees (more or less), making one circuit around the celestial sphere
in just one sidereal day (by definition). Therefore, not only is it a
planet, but it is the fastest moving one, and the only one on which we
can see inhabitants.
