So now what? Change all the school books to display a 10th planet?

Post by **sliver** » Sat Jul 30, 2005 1:16 am

well if it's bigger than pluto, what choice do they have?

They better name it appropriately, too. There's still Juno, Vesta, Minerva, Vulcan, and Diana.

They should name it Myanus :lol: Look! There's Uranus! Oh wait, there's Myanus too!

I like Juno, but Vulcan is so much cooler

Yes. Chances are they were printed before the ice age as it is.

Although to call it a 10th planet you have to classify pluto as the 9th...and some folks don't consider pluto a planet.

Just call it "Enemy Homeworld". Maybe that'll motivate our asses.

that'd be a better name than 2003 UB whatever.

Nova Prospect.

Man, that'd be so lol if they actually called it Vulcan.

Post by **Geebs** » Sat Jul 30, 2005 9:13 am

It's called "Rupert", as well you know.

Post by **^misantropia^** » Sat Jul 30, 2005 11:47 am

But they should've called it "Goofy".

Post by **RRROOOAAARRR** » Sat Jul 30, 2005 11:58 am

Call it 'Stroggos'
