Now to find out what is really out beyond Pluto. I know there is some thought that there is another planer/dwarf planet out there because of unexplained anomalies in Pluto's orbit.

The old "Planet X" has been pretty much debunked, but there's all the other Trans-Neptunian Objects like Eris and Sedna, etc (hence the reclassification of Pluto to "dwarf planet"). Plus there was some possibliity that there's a Saturn-sized planet lurking waayy out there in the Oort Cloud. You're right, we'd better just go start looking around.

Pluto is a panet! Neil DeGrasse Tyson, and anyone else who says otherwise can suck my balls.

They're back in communication, thankfully. A good day for science. They just announced a new confirmed particle: the pentaquark.

Did you say Quark? And in a penta formation no less!

LOL! I loved that stupid show. Too bad it only lasted about a second. The one I remember is the one where they are all the evil versions of themselves and someone comments that they should chop Ficus ( the plant guy) into a nice green salad. Being a plant he had no emotions, so his character was the same exact annoying person in both universes.
