Crappy names :(

And I find it sad that we have to spot planets in our own system that way. Can't we just fusion burn over? :P
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

And they still haven found the missing mass that makes Neptune wiggle... So there may be a secret 11th planet...

Oh god, that theory. It's very dodgy science and not regarded by the mainstream. I'd take it with a pinch of salt.

not so dodgy... read the whole article... the possability of a brown dwarf is well very possible... there are a heck of a lot more of them than we once thought... and it bears some consideration. I agree that it isnt likely,... but unlikly stuff has happend before in science.
