- [comments]:
This was discovered by the lesser known Russian satellite, Spudnik.
This discovery was kind of a root awakening.
The shape of this planet is a starch contrast to others that the scientists were studying.
Evidently, the planet was formed from not one, but two explosions.
Twice baked.
So far the theories about the origins of this planet seems to chive with their previous research.
Until now, much of this research was underground.
More information will be released once scientists can hash it out.
At the moment, most of their communications have been fried.
They may have to send a tuber up to replace some chips.
This will have to be done manually with a wedge.
According to the Mexican space stations, signals were yammed.
In comparison to other planets of this size, many of the living conditions were a mash.
In celebration of this discovery, scientists decided to don Yellow Jerseys.
UPDATE: Sadly, the science community was unable to come to an agreement on how to pronounce this planet and has decided to "call the whole thing off."

A rare script from a language in Liberia has provided some new insights into how written languages evolve.
"The Vai script of Liberia was created from scratch in about 1834 by eight completely illiterate men who wrote in ink made from crushed berries," says linguistic anthropologist Piers Kelly, now at the University of New England, Australia.
"Because of its isolation, and the way it has continued to develop up until the present day, we thought it might tell us something important about how writing evolves over short spaces of time." [end excerpt]
