Nope, it's inhabited by aliens from some far off solar system who are watching us all right now.

Oddly I First heard about it in Godzilla. 
anyway if they decide it is a planet it should be named like all the rest named after a greek god

I think what primaly makes Pluto a planet even if it is small is the fact it has a moon.anyway if they decide it is a planet it should be named like all the rest named after a greek god

Same here, only up until now there was no hard fact on it. Was more of a "is it possible there's a 10th planet" kinda thing.

To add another fact into the controversy, the size difference between Pluto and its moon is such that the two orbit each other, with their center of revolution somewhere in the middle. (I don't know if either rotates independent of revolution about each other.) The anti-planet Pluto argument basically claims that both Pluto and its moon were moons of Neptune that went rogue.

Actually, there's more than one "Planet X", which causes a lot of confusion. There have been a few other contenders for the 10th planet spot before Sedna. It is also likely there will be more to come unless they decide that Sedna is a planet... unlikely though.
Previously, one of the planets discovered was Quaoar. I believe that was the most recent discovery. It's smaller than Sedna and was shot down as a planet. As I said, there were many that came before it, as well. So, you knew of a planet x but not the planet x.

We need a standard for this crap. Like more then y = planet. Less then that is a sub-planetary body. Or (later in space exploration) use gravity.. like less then 60% earth grav means it's not a planet, or something.
Oh, and it's very red.
