Heck, I'd go for the chocolate alone. Anything to get a chocolate bar with more than 77% cacao, which is the best I can find on the internet. :-)

I've known people who pass dense clouds of gas that make me want to be 1000 astronomical units away from them.

2004 topic, so reply at your own risk. ;') The July issue of "Astronomy Now" (a British mag, which is six months behind on its website) discusses the Nemesis theory in a breezy two page article (plus a couple pages of illustrations if memory serves), and Mike Brown doubts that Nemesis exists, but also entertains the possibility of some large body (such as the one discussed here) having been the agent for putting Sedna where it is. Brown's idea is, if more than one body like Sedna is found, orbit-wise, then it makes Nemesis more likely.

HA! This is what I get for replying to stuff early in the morning ... I kinda missed the fact that this was a "resurrected" thread from 2004 ;-)
Sorry for any confusion :)

Michael Brown, the astronomer at California Institute of Technology who led the discovery of Sedna, said the most likely scenario involves the Sun having been born in a star cluster, and several stars that were then closer to the solar system -- still more than 10,000 AU away -- were responsible for ejecting objects like Sedna.
Hey, now, unless it involves Xenu, nobody wants to be hearing yer crazy crackpot theories, mmm kay!
