Introducing ERIS
...the previously numbered only dwarf planet that caused the 'down-grading' of Pluto, and subsequent outburst of ridiculous indignation... and it's namesake:
"In Greek mythology, Eris started the Trojan war after she was excluded from a wedding on Mount Olympus, home of the gods. To get revenge for the snub, she tossed an apple inscribed "to the most beautiful one" into the party, causing a squabble among the goddesses.
Paris, the prince of Troy, was forced to settle the dispute by picking one goddess as most beautiful, earning the spite of the others and the ultimate defeat of his city in the Trojan war."
