Heard it on NPR - now it just has to be found by telescope, not just maths...

Since Pluto got demoted to Dwarf Planet status this is the 8th planet. As such it should be called Octarinia.

No........

Pluto WAS the 9th planet.  There are still 8 others!

20,000 year orbit!  Way out there, bigger than Earth, smaller than Neptune.  May be hard to find.

Well shucks! That is the planet Kolab that Joseph Smith knew all about a hundred years ago, or more.  Thats where the deceased Mormans go as you all well know.

I thought every dead Mormon got their own planet? Too lazy to Google the history now.
