Welcome Xena, the Planet

[jeff]

The astronomers have discovered a new planet and named it Xena. No more with those passe Roman gods, huh? http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/08...lanet_or_rock/

So, should they rename the other planets? Suggestions?

[D'Art]

There was someone on the BBC website forumy thing who named it Rupert cos it was the 10th planet
(would give reps to the first person to get the reference, but it's too easy, and I haven't figured out how to do it yet)

SO much depends on context.

We could just arbitrarily use this one :

Boba's a lech.

right. keep thinking that, because nobody else is.

[mrbiggs]

That's cool. I read somewhere that it's still entirely possible that there could be undetected planets out there, because they are very hard to detect, lacking heat and stuff. So it's possible.

P.S. Xena is a bad name because I associate it with the phrase "warrior princess."

Oh, good. Problem solved, then.

I heard one suggestion that since it's neighbor was Pluto it ought to be called Goofy...

From Douglas Adams? (OK, my son helped me with this one.)

Yup, but I still haven't figured out how to give reps yet, so you'll have to wait a while before you recieve them

That's easy - look for the post that makes you want to add rep, and click on the little box (on the left, under the screen name) that has a little check mark and "x" in it. Voila - a box pops up letting you put in a comment. Have fun repping away!
