# Technically that is correct
They now know it is just a big rock and that there are more of them.

They can't declassify it as all the rhymes we learnt at school for the order would fail.*

*may be a little bit false.

# That
is correct. If you count it's moon (which is approx. the same size as it) it's a double planet system, with its rotational axis more or less at the Lagrange point.
Otherwise, it's a lump of rock (a planetoid, maybe. Not quite a plant, but in the wrong place to be an asteroid and it's not quite a comet.)
And Sedna, don't get me started on that. If Pluto doesn't count, and Sedna's half the size of that...

Is QI on again? If so, what channel and when? And is it available up here in the land of the Scots?
