Idle Ramblings

Watch out for invading Lectroids!

It looks like scientists may have discovered a 10th planet, large than Pluto out on the very edge of the solar system. The possible new planet, located in the Kuiper Belt, which, without getting too technical, is the region of our solar system that helps keeps its pants up. The belt was named after Gerard Kuiper and was originally called the Kuiper cumberbund, but that fashion trend was quickly found to be outdated.

Planet 10 is of course best know as the home of the Red and Black Lectroids. The Red Lectroids were brought to Earth in the 1930s after a failed attempt to open the 8th dimension by Dr. Emilo Lizardo and Dr. Hikita. A former colleague of Dr. Hikita's was Dr. Masado Banzi who was the father of Buckaroo Banzi - the man who decades later saved the world and the Black Lectroids from the evil Red Lectroids.

The scientists who discovered this possible new planet are keeping the submitted name for the new planet quiet, but I have it on good authority it won't be Phil.
