New planet discovery to be announced
March 15, 2004
American scientists were today expected to announce that they had found
a new "planet" in our solar system.
A 10th heavenly body has been spotted orbiting the Earth.

[Al]
"The object has been named Sedna after the Inuit goddess of the
ocean." That adequately puts it in perspective. We've regressed from
thundergods to fish farts. Besides, Roman Emperor Caligula conquered
the ocean in 40 AD. Check out Caius Suetonius Tranquillus' account.

Is the Hubble making trouble again? Sell the blighted overpriced
bureaucratic excrescence to the highest spacefaring bidder (ESA,
Russia, China, NSA) and have done with it. All Hubble data should be
banned, like Nazi medical experiment archives and Martha Stewart
(finally).

Uncle Al would have gone for a Hindu god. With 300,000,000+ from
which to choose, the strongly remunerated studies could have gone on
for years merely assembling the list. In fact, the World Court in the
Hague should be *immediately* convened to order a definitive list of
all deities, saints, spirits, sprites, nyads, elves, angels, pixies,
goblins, devas, faeries, shapeshifters, satyrs, incubi, succubi,
ghosts, leprechauns, gnomes, ogres, elementals, sylphs, genii, nymphs,
demons, servitors, witches, halflings, tulpas, dakinis, dragons,
vampires, mermaids, unicorns, familiars, griffins, valkyries, zephyrs,
intergalactic field proctologists... plus Krocaa, God of the
Aarakocra; Baba Yaga, Cthulhu, Pegasus, Rocky the Flying Squirrel, the
occasional oozing putrescence, and Kibo. New orbiting bodies will be
assigned names at random, weighted by social compassion, gender
anti-bias, celebration of alternative lifestyles, and activist
compensation for White Protestant European oppressive historic
apochryphal atrocities levied upon Beliefs of Colour.

The government-subsidized bickering (plus fully-paid health and
pension benefits) could go on for millennia.

In the meanwhile, newly discovered Sol-orbiting bodies of at least
Pluto's diameter will be consecutively named Al, Bob, Chuck, Dave,
Earnie, Fred, Greg, Hal, Ivan, Jan, Karl, Larry, Moe, Nick, Oscar,
Pepe (compassion!), Quincy, Rich, Sam, Tom... Just how much big crap
is in the Kuiper belt?

You forgot dwarves, how could you forget them? But more importantly, you
didn't mention the underpants gnomes! You had better hope they don't see
this post, because believe me, you don't wanna **** them off!

..yeah..another asteroid like ..quaoar
but still called a planet (planetoid)

Earth (----------------) 12.756km

Moon (---) 3.476km

Mercury (----) 4.878km

Pluton (--) 2.280km

Sedna (-) [around] 1.290-1.770km

So I guess there is it !
The Sumerian's 12th planet.

Unlikely, since they knew nothing about it, and couldn't possibly have
detected it.

When Astronomers discover the NEXT big object, how are you going to
try to pass it off so it fits with your favourite fantasy, credophile?
