Earth-Like Planet Found Near Our Sun

(2005-06-14) -- Researchers announced today that they have discovered evidence of an earth-like planet approximately 93 million miles away from the sun in our own solar system.

While astrophysicists have not seen the rocky orb through a telescope, it has many of the characteristics of our own home planet and yet is "clearly an alien world."

The team picked up electronic transmissions from an apparent civilization on the earth-like planet in a language similar to English. They have tentatively named the planet MSCNNYT-13.

"News transmissions received from MSCNNYT-13 during the past week paint a picture of a bizarre civilization," said one unnamed scientist. "It's tempting to draw parallels between our own rational world and the people on this new planet, but if we had become as obsessed as they are with trivia, gossip and perversion I don't think we would have lasted this long."

A spokesman for NASA said no missions are planned to explore MSCNNYT-13 because "we couldn't learn enough from them to justify the expense."

Was that sign intended to be clever? Or was it a serious sign that its holder thought was presentable and/or convincing?

I heard that everyone on the planet has dyslexia. The name of this planet is Htrae.

It was a serious sign from one of the numerous moonbat parades.

Loosely translated I think it means "Sign first, then bong"

Seriously I have no clue what it's supposed to mean. I think it ends up saying something about a hurricane machine.

Gee, I thought it was the mysterious Planet X that use to be part of earth before an asteroid split them into many eons ago. It's been hiding behind our sun eventually coming back to destroy our planet.

Direct deposit? Probably, since it is "counter Earth".
