I thought we would begin discovering such objects now that our telescopes have improved to the point that they can pick up such things. I think we'll eventually find many planetoids larger than Pluto in the Kuiper belt.

Free Republic exclusive close-up photo of giant object in outer space, far from the center of things.

Object has open fly and two huge satellite man-boobs. Orbit is erratic when alcohol sighted. Veers to the hard left.

The Soul of the Democratic Party

A cold unimpressive icy ball of rock 3.5 billion from Mainstream America.

It's my glow-in-the-dark Batman kickball that drifted out to sea in strong currents off the coast of Rhode Island back in 1968. Currents that my dad claimed were too strong for him to swim in to get the ball back.

But I'm not bitter.

Well, we do name planetary objects after mythical creatures, don't we?

It may be a gigantic ball of all those left socks everyone complains about losing.

Probably.

BTW, it might be possible to detect that it is Friday by reading the comments on this tread ;-)
