So, when are they finally going to find Nibiru? It’s gotta be close. Obama is obviously from there.
Then again, the moons all have strange rules. If I remember correctly, the moons of Jupiter have to end with a specific letter. It's something like the moons ending with "a" orbit one way and the ones ending in "o" orbit the other way.
so is it Make - Make or is it Mah Key Mah Key ??
So for more than three years it's been variously called 2005 FY9, Easterbunny, and K50331A, but didn't get its permanent name and dwarf planet designation until a week ago.
When we think of things moving at astronomical speeds, at least I tend to think of them as moving around really fast. But this does not apply to astronomers themselves.

VERY politically incorrect. The preferred term is "little planets."
I have an old geography book. It shows and names more planets than what we learned in the 60’s. It also shows a big warm spot in the Pacific.
I had never thought about it but they all are Roman names except for Uranus which is Greek.

Oh my, what are we doing here? Next thing we'll see is "Planet Tossing Competition" on ESPN !
>>Don’t call them Dwarf Planets. They prefer to be called Little Planets.
Let’s have some consideration around here : )<<
How insensitive of you! They are size-challenged planets.
And why isn’t Dr. Brown working on the flux capacitor?
Pluto for Plutonium, Neptune for Neptunium, ... Makemake for Makemakeium? Doesn’t quite have the same ring to it?
Al Gore was right. Clearly this planet was created by global warming.
I bet I could find a girlfriend for Winky there!
I apologize for my insenstivity.
I am so ashamed of me.
I wonder if God is into “little planet bowling”?
She'd have to look kind of like a monkey.
That's because Greeks have a special interest in Uranus.
When the time comes.
Did we humans find VULCAN yet??
The 4 largest moons (the ones first seen by Galileo) are Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto—so 3 different final vowels for 4 moons. The largest moons revolve counterclockwise, but a lot of the smaller ones revolve clockwise (which may indicate they are captured asteroids).
