Title: Possible new planet in our solar system
Post by: Five on May 14, 2012, 11:15:23 PM
I have heard of this theory before...a while ago but just saw this article and this seems to be getting closer to proof...still a ways to go though, like actually seeing it.

Would be interesting if there is one. Isn't there supposed to be something late in 2012 about being able to see the through a gap in the kupiter belt and see the Nibiru planet..if it exists? or is that part of the world is ending thing? hmmm

To be honest it doesn't seem to be anything new, there have been theories that we haven't discovered all the planets in our solar system going back pretty much forever.

Is it possible there's a full-fledged planet yet to be discovered sitting in or beyond the Kuiper belt? Sure, but it's not likely, and it's certainly not a portent of a mysterious doom because the Mayans forgot to include instructions for a rollover on their calendar.  ;)

It's the dark moon from 5th Element. Next thing we'll have Chris Rock screeching at us while Bruce Willis runs around with a half-dressed Mila Jovovich and kills a lot of scaly alien dudes.

As an Easter Egg it would be amusing for Steve to have Nibiru generate as a far outlier planet in Sol starts on an extremely rare basis.

It's Chris Tucker.

No no. Chris Tucker is annoying and screechy, Chris Rock is frakking hilarious.
