Planet X
Scientists have discovered a tenth planet in our solar system. The name is still pending the approval of the International Astronomical Union.
The planet is at least 1.5 times the size of Pluto. This will, of course, rekindle the debate over whether bodies like it and Pluto are even planets at all. I find myself to be somewhat sentimentalist about all this. Pluto has been historically considered a planet, so it should remain so. This new object is bigger than Pluto and orbits the sun, so in my humble non-expert opinion, it should also be considered a planet. I'd love to hear what other think though.

Name it for me. It's my birthday planet!
Consider it done. The new planet shall forever be known as "Take the Hill Friesen"
Hey Kyle, 'member that time you ousted the go-go dancer? 'Member that? Huh? 'Member?
One vote for Planet Kyle, One for "Take the Hill Friesen". Votes will be tallied and sent to the International Astronomical Union for consideration, or more likely, discard.
