The Plutoesque dwarf planet just discovered, which had been temporarily dubbed Xena, has now been officially named Eris. This would excite me if I wasn't so positive that it's going to generate an enormous wave of tiresome fanwankery.

Oh, just -great-. Now they've done it; Eris will probably spin out of orbit, collide with Pallas, and send it onto a collision course with Earth.

(one guess where it'll hit...)
