Idiot.

Your brain is not able to go much further.

Insults are a confession of impotence.

When you have nothing more to say, nothing to argue,
when you have no arguments... insults are the only
thing left.

You are the archetypical internet user. Unable to
argue, aggressive, arrogant, and convinced that
only one person is right always. Yourself of course.

You are lying.

No, they corrected it. You should be more careful if you plan to
accuse someone of lying.

Google still has the old version cached. Do a Google News search for
"spotted orbiting the Earth".

A 10th heavenly body has been spotted orbiting the Earth.

"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?

Did you consider the alternative? Newspapers don't really
want to look idiotic for any longer than necessary, right?

I'm glad the news agency corrected it, and I hope Mr. Hetzer
reads the cached version before Google updates it:

Claims that "a 10th heavenly body has been spotted orbiting the Earth"
appeared in the online versions of the Sydney Morning Herald and the
Scotsman - both now corrected, but both still in Google's cache.

The new planet (or whatever it is) has been named Sedna.
