A distant, icy rock whose discovery shook up the solar system and led to Pluto's planetary demise has been given a name: Eris.

I read that in the paper this morning. All I have to say about that is run for the hills.

...Yikes...

[Duwayitheru]

I read that a little earlier, and all I could think of was how some people I know are gonna have fun with that!

[Amelserru_halqu]

Hmm... I wonder what effect this will have on my astrology?

[eldora_avalon]

Well, I guess the question now is, which of the 12 signs gets the Chaos planet :heybaby:

I think Scorpio should get it, what do you guys think?

[Rev. Incognito]

Well, I'm biased because I am a Scorpio but I say yes. Also this interesting bit of news:

AP -- San Francisco

Astronomers at the local observatory have made a startling discovery. While scanning the outer reaches of the Solar System they happened upon an object that had not been seen in that sector before. The astronomers frantically reviewed the available data and confirmed that this was, indeed, a new object.

Further observations showed that the object was a meteor currently habitating the Kuiper belt. They monitored its movements over the next few weeks and have determined that this object could pose a potential threat to the Earth. It's trajectory puts it on a course to intersect with the Earth's orbit around the sun. The question is, whether or not it will actually impact the Earth itself.

Closer observations of the object have shown it to be of a long, cylindrical, tubular shape. Also, the rock substrate that it is made of seems to reflect the reddish spectrum of light that shines upon it. As such, the astronomers have unofficially dubbed this object, the Oscar-Meyer-23.

The Astronomers will continue to monitor OM-23's progress over the coming weeks. They warn that they will not know for sometime if this object poses any actual threat or not. They estimate that the object will cross into the Earth's orbital path in 5 years.

Discordians PWN everyone, our Goddess just got a planet, and they found her hotdog in space.

And, don't bother running for the hills, we've already set the boobie traps.

The food in the valley was not poisoned, the Green Giant peed there.

Hopefully someday soon there will be a planet discovered that is called Pumpkin.

Pumpkin is the common name of Vegeton V.
