It's a red herring. Neither red, nor herring.

Where?! *gets frying pan and oil*

Sedna? Haumea?

Quaoar!

How can you deny a dwarfie named Quaoar?!

True...but Quaoar only has a cool name, Sedna has a pretty orbit and Haumea is beautifully oval

look at that sexy thing!

You're not too old, you're just spoiled by Marzena.

I hadn't realized until now that the Earth is trans-Neptunian.

This is ridiculous. How can a dog be a planet.

Well, if you feed it enough...

Perhaps you're more of a spherical guy?

It looks like an ostrich egg.

Pluto is no longer a planet?

What's next: you going to tell me that Cruithne is no longer our moon?

>_> Now what am I supposed to say...if I agree, everyone will think I find ostrich eggs sexy!

What's next: you going to tell me that Cruithne is no longer our moon?

NO WAY! I never knew about this! Thanks Gokul, this completely blew my mind tonight.
