This is why it is so important to keep a clean living/work space. Had Pluto just cleaned out its area this planet would be the much cooler named 'Planet X', with 'X' serving double duty as '10' and 'mysterious'.

Now it has to be called Planet IX, a truly wretched fate.

Watch out for their sonic tanks, though.

The best candidate yet for the elusive Planet Nine has been spotted in two deep infrared surveys taken 23 years apart. If this mystery object really is Planet Nine, it would have a mass greater than Neptune, and currently be about 700 times farther from the sun than Earth is.

Pluto is the ninth planet. Fuck Neil "The Grass" Mike Tyson and all of his sciency cohorts! /s

Even if we count Pluto as a planet, it wouldn't be ninth. Because Ceres would then also be a planet between Mars and Jupiter, shifting the numbering order.
